The Improbability of Love
A Novel

Reeling from a sudden breakup, thirty-one-year-old Annie McDee is rummaging through a secondhand shop, when an anonymous old painting catches her eye. The artwork becomes hers, and Annie begins to suspect that it may be more valuable than she'd thought. Soon she is pursued by parties who would do anything to possess her picture: an exiled Russian oligarch, an avaricious sheikha, an unscrupulous art dealer. In her search for the painting's identity, Annie will unwittingly discover some of the darkest secrets of European history—and the possibility of falling in love again.
