The Masterpiece | Anna Enquist
Enquist's impassioned novel revolves around the artist Johan Steenkamer, the women who are drawn to him, and his troubled family relationships. The three days leading up to the opening of his grand exhibition are depicted with a dramatic sense of light and shade. Present events are shadowed by the past, and the section describing the loss of Steenkamer's daughter is an exploration of grief that will leave no reader unmoved.
