“Schlesser, a French author known for his museum guides and artist biographies, honors his nonfiction roots with this scholarly foray into fiction... The storyline grants Schlesser the opportunity to feature 52 artworks, one per week for a year, directly applying various artistic concepts to Mona’s thoughts and experiences. Each work is lavishly described and analyzed through dialogue and internal musings... Schlesser’s life-affirming narrative is ancillary to his accessible instruction aimed at tempting the reader to seek out the works he so immaculately describes.”
