Slow Start Leads to Interesting Conclusion
I had to struggle to stay with this novel, but I was rewarded about a third of the way through. At that point the plot began to pick up, and I began to sense a direction. This turns out to be a story of misplaced affections coupled revenge hidden within the turn-of-the-century art world of Paris. I enjoyed the allusions to artists who later became widely known in the twentieth century and the darker sides of the Parisian streets and people who lived there. Woven in the story is the plight of women a century ago in a world dominated by men in Parisian society. I recommend this novel, but the reader needs to be encouraged to read beyond the slow start.

The Paris Winter
As a reader of historical fiction I enjoyed the depiction of the great flood of Paris and the insight given into the underground society of that great city during the early 1900s. The first half of the book seemed to be written more for the young adult reader, and I did not find the characters particularly believable. I would consider it mediocre reading.
