"Pope's debut includes much fascinating information about the artist and life in late 19th-century France. Its mystery feels more like a MacGuffin enlivening a picaresque roman a clef." Kirkus Reviews

"Pope mixes fictional and historic characters with great dexterity, offering a portrait of Cezanne as a tortured soul, wounded by his past and stuck with a mistress he does not love." Oregonian
