The Art Forger by B.A. Shapiro



The Locale: Sarah's

The Art Forger

B.A. Shapiro

The Book: On March 18, 1990, thirteen works of art worth today over $500 million were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. It remains the largest unsolved art heist in history and Claire Roth, a struggling young artist with her own scandalous past, is about to discover that that there's more to this crime than meets the eye.

The Fun: A small group but lively discussion. Great to catch up with everyone. Discussing summer travels and kids camps. Sarah starts us off with yummy Sangeria. In keeping with the book's setting, Sarah serves Boston Butte Roast with BBQ and baked beans and a Boston Creme Pie. 

Most enjoyed the book on some level. Either the light summer read or the art history. 

The Vote: Diana presented...
