Cover to Cover Book Club

Read along with the Cover to Cover Book Club at the Nappanee Public Library. The club will meet on Tuesday, May 20, 2014, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. to discuss The Art Forger by Barbara A. Shapiro.

Making a living reproducing famous artworks for an online retailer and desperate to improve her situation, Claire is lured into a bargain with Aiden Markel, a powerful gallery owner. She agrees to forge a Degas masterpiece stolen from the Gardner Museum — in exchange for a one-woman show in his renowned gallery. But when that very same long-missing painting is delivered to Claire’s studio, she begins to suspect that it may itself be a forgery. Her desperate search for the truth leads Claire into a labyrinth of deceit where secrets hidden since the late nineteenth century may be the only evidence that can now save her life.

For more information or to reserve a copy of the book, call 574-773-7919, or go to www.nappaneelibrary.org. The Cover to Cover Book Club meets at the library on the third Tuesday of each month.
