New York, New York : Harper, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, 2022. 309 p ; 6 x 9. Emma Caan is a fake. She is a copier who has become so good at duplicating nineteenth-century artworks that her versions are often passed off as originals. But she is not a criminal; her paintings are commissioned by museums and ultra-wealthy collectors protecting their investments. Emma's more than mastered a Gauguin brushstroke and the curve of a van Gogh wheat stalk, but her job is often a painful reminder of the artistic dreams she once chased for herself, when she was younger and before her family and her world fell apart. When billionaire art collector Leonard Sobetsky unexpectedly appears with an invitation, Emma sees a way out-a new job, a new path for herself, and access to the kind of money she needs to support her unsteady, recently widowed mother. But every invitation incurs an obligation, and Emma isn't prepared for what's to come. As she's pulled further into Leonard's opulent scene, she will discover what's lurking beneath the glitz and glamour. When she does, the past she's worked hard to overcome will collide with the present, making her wonder how much of her carefully curated life is just as fake as her forgeries. 20220929.
