Desiree_Reads | May 2, 2022 |   I was even more entranced to read the "Historical Note" in which the author shares that the novel is "based around a series of unconnected historical events." Simply and beautifully magnificent. I am always appreciative of authors who give credit for elegant covers and Tea Cooper delighted me in her "Acknowledgments" with credit to "the marvelous designer Darren Holt." It is not that I will ever recognize the name but I appreciate the work as a significant contribution to the beauty of the novel. Book Club readers will appreciate the author's provision of "Discussion Questions" at the end of the novel. (  ) FerneMysteryReader | Aug 23, 2021 | I really enjoyed this book. It was well written and engaging. The characters were very dynamic and the mystery unraveled nicely. I will definitely look for more books from this author. Overall, highly recommended. ( ) JanaRose1 | May 6, 2021 | The Girl in the Painting is a gripping story. The combination of blurry memories, secrets, and outright lies make for an unpredictable and un-put-downable book. I could not stop until I knew the full truth! Even though the hairs on the back of your neck rise up the closer you get to it. I hate to give away many details of the story because you will want to savor them all. Overall, I loved The Girl in the Painting from beginning to finish, and I look forward to reading more books by Tea Cooper in the future. Any fan of dual-time historical fiction will thoroughly enjoy this book. I was given a copy of this book by the publisher with no expectation of a positive review all opinions are my own. ( ) BlessednBookish | Mar 23, 2021 | Michael arrives in Australia with his sister Elizabeth but things are not what what he was expecting. To find out what his parents left him he heads in country leaving his sister with people in town. Neither lives the life they expected upon their arrival but it is what it is until Michael can get everything situated. What follows is a rich and complex story about the settlement of part of Australia, mining, treatment of Chinese immigrants and so much more. I found myself very involved in the life stories. I was kept on my toes until the very end the final answers were still a surprise which is always welcome when reading a book.

HTML: An orphaned young math prodigy in need of family. A painting that shatters a woman's peace. And a decades-old mystery demanding to be solved. Australia, 1906: Orphan Jane Piper is nine years old when philanthropist siblings Michael and Elizabeth Quinn take her into their home to further her schooling. The Quinns are no strangers to hardship. Having arrived in Australia as penniless immigrants, they now care for others as lost as they once were. Despite Jane's mysterious past, her remarkable aptitude for mathematics takes her far over the next seven years, and her relationship with Elizabeth and Michael flourishes as she plays an increasingly prominent part in their business. But when Elizabeth reacts in terror to an exhibition at the local gallery, Jane realizes no one knows Elizabeth after allâ??not even Elizabeth herself. As the past and present converge and Elizabeth's grasp on reality loosens, Jane sets out to unravel her story before it's too late. From the gritty reality of the Australian goldfields to the grand institutions of Sydney, this compelling novel presents a mystery that spans continents and decades as both women finally discover a place to call home. Praise for The Girl in the Painting: "Combining characters that are wonderfully complex with a story spanning decades of their lives, The Girl in the Painting is a triumph of family, faith, and long-awaited forgiveness.
