Book Summary: 

Psychiatrist Andrew Marlow is assigned to treat Robert Oliver, a renowned painter who is arrested after attacking a painting in Washington, D.C.’s National Gallery. Oliver refuses to speak, and Marlow—curious and compelled—begins to investigate his past to uncover what drove him to such a shocking act.

Through interviews with the women in Oliver’s life and the discovery of mysterious 19th-century letters between a French woman and her uncle, Marlow is pulled into a century-spanning mystery involving art, love, obsession, and madness. As he gets closer to the truth, he also confronts his own understanding of passion and the power of creativity.

It’s a slow-unfolding, beautifully written novel blending historical fiction, psychological drama, and artistic mystery.
