About this listen

THE REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK FOR MARCH 2024
‘I have goosebumps just talking about this story’ REESE WITHERSPOON
‘Smart, funny – and furious’ MARIE CLAIRE
‘Genre-busting ... A clear-eyed deconstruction of skewed value systems’ FINANCIAL TIMES
It’s 1985 and Anita de Monte, a rising star in the art world, is found dead in New York City. Thirteen years later, art history student Raquel is preparing her final thesis, feeling the pressure to work twice as hard for the same opportunities as the wealthy students around her. Anita’s name – and the mysterious circumstances around her death – has all but faded from view.
When Raquel becomes romantically involved with a well-connected older student, she finds herself unexpectedly rising up the social ranks. But then she stumbles upon Anita’s story, and is struck not only by the question of who gets to leave a legacy, but by how her own relationship eerily mirrors that of the forgotten artist . . .

Captivating
I was hooked on this book by the remarkable way it is written. Such colourful words and thoughtfulness in the way it is written, touching on taboo subjects . Loved it !

Wasn't what I expected
Loved this story. You have to concentrate to keep track of the different narrators and time lines. I was surprised by the "supernatural" element but it worked for this book.

Inspired by a real artist
It took me a while to get into this book, and longer to realise it was inspired by a real artist, Ana Mendieta. It was an enjoyable read.

Brilliant
Anita is a force to be reckoned with. And she really does get to laugh last which I loved. A must read. Thought provoking story. Brilliantly narrated.
