The Artist

My 3-line (ish) book review:

A quiet, atmospheric novel set in 1920s Provence, exploring the cost of creativity and the pursuit of art.

It's a slow-burn kind of read: cinematic and slightly ominous.

Did I like it? hmm… I appreciated it. It was well written and insightful. It’s objectively a good book - but I think I was in the mood for something more escapist.
