Kings do battle with knights and knaves for possession of the finest pieces and the secrets of their manufacture.įor Genevieve Planché, an English-born descendant of Huguenot refugees, porcelain holds far less allure she wants to be an artist, a painter of international repute, but nobody takes the idea of a female artist seriously in London. In eighteenth century London, porcelain is the most seductive of commodities fortunes are made and lost upon it. In sort, that’s exactly what I got with this one-porcelain and a little bit of suspense. I was interesting in this book because I thought it was going to be about china and porcelain and somehow circle back and become a historical thriller. I saw this one floating around various book sites and was intrigued. I’ve only read a couple of Nancy Bilyeau’s novels, which was a good read but for some reason I didn’t get back to any of her other novels.
