Publisher's Summary
From the New York Times best-selling author of A Gentleman in Moscow and Rules of Civility comes a stylish and alluring new story about art, money, and a precious family heirloom - brought magically to life by the beloved voice of six-time Emmy-winner John Lithgow.
Like many well-to-do Upper East Siders over the age of 65, esteemed art appraiser Percival Skinner had planned to spend his retirement living off his savings. But a market correction has left him living below his prior means. One day he’s visited by a dapper fixer in search of a famous work by the Renaissance master Giuseppe Didomenico. Skinner knows the work well: The original was owned by his ancestor, and was passed down through his family over the generations. If, as an intermediary, he can coordinate a sale, a small fortune awaits. Problem is, he might not be the only one on the make.
Told with the quixotic energy of a classic Henry James tale and the gleeful absurdity of drawing-room comedy, this playful and effortlessly heartwarming story from one of America’s most gifted writers is a welcome reminder that sometimes what we find is more valuable than what we are looking for.

Heart-warming tale, glorious narration
The atmosphere feels like a modern-day version of A Gentleman In Moscow, with the same humanity and highbrow pursuit of food and art.
But it's John Lithgow's narration that nails it. Beautiful dry cynicism from a time gone by - is the perfect flavour enhancer.
Time well spent.

Excellent story and well narrated
Lovely story. Takes you through the world of an old man in New York and the life of a painting. Very readable and hard to put down.

Pretty good. Recommended.
John Lithgow's characteristic voice is most suited for the cynical tone he narrates in. The story is pretty good and leaves a satisfactory aftertaste with a slight smile on your face.
