![]() ![]() I am not going into details for the moment I will only mention that I found a narrative for a work of art that I saw in Istanbul in 2013. Three years later, I am starting a novel that incorporates your views: that art and money combine in ways that are set to pleasing the eye and can lead to awe-inspiring plots. As an adult reader, I loved going back to The Blue and see how, in retrospective, my father had been so justified in his choice of what he sought to collect. As a child, I lived with these pieces around me. As the daughter of a Portuguese collector who did not miss a porcelain sale in the famous Lisbon auction houses, I was brought up with the notion that the blue to be found in exclusive pieces was invaluable. ![]() What I most loved about The Blue by Nancy Bilyeau is the idea! How art and money combine to form a magnificent 18th century tale of international espionage. ![]() At the time, I wrote a very short Review that read: JAR: Interesting that you should ask this question because your novel The Blue is still very much in my mind today, though I read it in 2018. Nancy Bilyeau: I hear you are starting your next novel. ![]()
