About this listen

When Anika Molnar flees her home country of Hungary not long before the break up of the Soviet Union, she carries only a small suitcase - and a beautiful and much-loved painting of an auburn-haired woman in a cobalt blue dress from her family's hidden collection.

Arriving in Australia, Anika moves in with her aunt in Sydney, and the painting hangs in pride of place in her bedroom. But one day, it is stolen in what seems to be a carefully planned theft, and Anika's carefree life takes a more ominous turn. Sinister secrets from her family's past and Hungary's fraught history cast suspicion over the painting's provenance, and she embarks on a gripping quest to uncover the truth.

Different… brilliant

Very different from Alison Booth’s earlier books, this includes historical references that can made uncomfortable reading - but are dealt with a sympathy which is quite moving. I found the story compelling. All of Alison Booth’s books are well worth reading and deal with subjects that make you aware that things are not always the way they might seem. Can’t wait to see what she writes next!
