The Last Painting of Sara de Vos by Dominic SmithRead about another entry on the list.
Inspired by the long-overlooked stories of female painters in 17th-century Holland, Smith digs deep into the research to produce a tale of unyielding longing and light. He magically weaves three timeframes from Holland to 1950s New York to a present-day shimmering Sydney tracing the broken tale of forgery, lust and loss.
