THE GYPSY MADONNA (Santa Montefiore)

THE GYPSY MADONNA

" 'Flamboyant, suspenseful and atmospheric' MAIL ON SUNDAY"

by Santa Montefiore

From the back cover:

"A Titian masterpiece. A sumptuous French chateau with a deadly secret. A Nazi warlord with a thirst for art. A vicious cround and a sinister priest in a France of patriots and traitors. A small boy and his beautiful French mother. A raffish American with a plaintive voice and an enchanted guitar, who breezes into a Bordeaux village, full of mysteries and magic, and changes their lives forever.

Elegant Anouk, a dealer in American antiques, dies leaving the Metropolitan museum a pricesless, uncatalogued painting by Titian. Her son Mischa, was completely unaware of its existence. THis mystery sends him on the trial of his own history, back to the French village of his childhood. He expects to uncover the origins of the Gypsy Madonna; he does not expect to find himself.

Santa Montefiore's storytelling skills are at their peak in her vivid and absorbing sixth novel. Her unique combination of epic romance and dark mystery is here enriched by the tension and excitement of occupied france an the land of opportunity that is post-war America"

SOFT COVER , excellent condition (my daughter as made a small pen scribble on the front page).
