Good Idea. Bad Delivery. submitted by Sara W on June 20, 2011, 8:50pm I'm not sure why a story with such potential of setting and plot was so boring and bogged down with the emotional and romantic agonies of character that no one in the book seems to regard very highly. In the afterword, Houghteling discusses basing Rose Clement on the true story of Rose Valland and after reading a bit about Valland, I would vastly have preferred just to read her autobiography and "The Rape of Europa."

Excellent idea, poor execution.

Art Theft in WWII submitted by johnnyringo on July 5, 2013, 8:11am Good novel about Nazi art theft
