What did you think of The Art Forger?

[Mary Anne, Reference Librarian]

We had a great discussion the other day about The Art Forger by B.A. Shapiro, a mystery set in the art world. Claire is an art reproducer, who copies great works of art for a living. She gets into trouble when she makes a Faustian bargain to copy a painting stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner in exchange for money and her own show at a prestigious gallery. We used it for the Warwick Summer Read-together Book. Lots of ethical questions arose in a very lively discussion. If you couldn't make the discussion, but read the book, we'd love to hear what you thought!
