The Lost Madonna--#45 finished

A good read, a little too much romance for me but overall good read. Interesting subject starting with the flood of 1966 in Florence Italy & a young college age girl helps out in saving the art. She falls in love & has a child she puts up for adoption. She also falls in love with art, becoming an Art History professor. Throw in a lost painting, a chance to teach in Florence and reuniting with characters she hasn't seen in 30 years--all together a good read. Some times a little sappy and a little unrealistic but not to the point of making the story disappointing.

I have already posted it on PBS, there are something like 18 or 19 copies ahead of it so it won't be going anywhere soon. I have started reading Lush Life, Be Mine and Pounding the Pavement. Be Mine I have gotten 100 pages into it and not too bad so far, others just underway.
