Newly appointed art curator Molly Goode is committed to diversifying her museum's collection. When Georgina Wright, the museum's aloof benefactor, asks for Molly's help in identifying the provenance of a 19th century portrait of social activist Josephine Brancaster, Molly welcomes the opportunity, even if it means spending time with the standoffish financier. But passions soon flare as the women uncover the heartbreaking story of doomed lesbian love behind the watercolor painted by Josephine's lover, Edith Hewitt.

It's the story of Molly and Georgina. Molly is an art curator who is passionate about her job and about diversifying the museum where she works for's collection.
And when Georgina's father dies she is put in charge of a foundation that sometimes supports the museum. Also, she has to pack up her father's house, which is near the museum. She comes to a painting that is neither going to the museum with her father's other art, or willed to her, and so she enlist's Molly's help (through the entirely unpleasent director of the museum, Evelyn) to find out who painted the portrait of Georgina's ancestor and why.
Needless to say, they get closer as they work together to solve the painting's mystery, but, they both have issues (of different sorts) and so the question is, can they overcome their pasts to enjoy their present and future?
What was most impressive about this novel was the emotion throughout the book, the whole novel seemed to vibrate with all sorts of different emotions. Especially the stuff that was set in the 1800s, which I loved.
It was an amazing book, complex and compelling.
I received this book via Netgalley thanks to Bold Strokes Books. ( )
