Sinopsis

&ldquo,I suppose I did it because I wanted something to show for the thirty years&mdash,longer than I had lived in my homeland&mdash,that I had been here in America. Something that was properly appreciated, even if someone else got all the credit.&rdquo, Liu Qingwu doesn&rsquo,t set out to commit a crime. He only wants to sell a painting&mdash,something more substantial than the Impressionist knockoffs he flogs to tourists outside New York&rsquo,s Metropolitan Museum of Art. But the lucrative commission he receives from a Chelsea art dealer is more complicated than he initially realizes. Liu has been hired to create not an homage to Andrew Cantrell&rsquo,s modernist masterpiece, Elegy, but a forgery that will sell for millions. The painting will change the lives of everyone associated with it&mdash,Liu, a Chinese immigrant still reeling from his wife&rsquo,s recent departure, Caroline, a gallery owner intent on saving her aunt&rsquo,s legacy, Molly, her perceptive assistant, and Harold, a Taiwanese businessman with an ethical dilemma on his hands. Weaving together their stories with that of Cantrell and the inspiration for his masterpiece, Wendy Lee&rsquo,s intricate, multilayered novel explores the unique fascination of great art and the lengths to which some are driven to create it&mdash,and to possess it.
