Girl in Hyacinth Blue
Susan Vreeland
This story gives "provenance" human faces as you follow the painting backwards to Vermeer's brush.

 Serena
Ron Rash
George and Serena Pemberton are the type of people who believe that their social and economic status afford them the right to do whatever they want with no repercussions. I did not realize how affected I was by these characters until I found myself wishing that they would finally get their comeuppance. I chose this book as one of my favorites of 2008.

Phantom
Susan Kay
Back in print after ten years, Phantom is one of my favorite modern Gothic novels. Susan Kay fleshes out the characters of The Phantom of the Opera, familiar from the Broadway musical and Gaston Leroux's original novel. The result is a lush, romantic, and haunting masterpiece of historical fiction.
