In this riveting novel full of imaginative art world revelations, betrayals, and twists, an aspiring art historian leaves her troubled parents to study in New York where she struggles to impress her misogynist advisor- until she discovers a hidden painting and flees to Spain to prove it's a masterpiece.
“Desperate for meaning and to fill the hole left by her younger brother’s death, an art historian searches for a lost painting—and finds herself. Gorgeously written and as rapturous as a Van Gogh, Moore’s book is a winner.”
—Caroline Leavitt, New York Times best-selling author of Pictures of You and With or Without You
“Moore’s passion for art, and her deep knowledge of the field, makes Attribution as beautifully rendered as the mysterious painting at the center of its gripping mystery. An engrossing debut about the importance and power of truth.”
—Stacey Swann, author of Good Morning America Book Club Pick Olympus, Texas
“Attribution is an intriguing art-historical fantasia. I loved reading it!”
—Edward J. Sullivan, Professor of the History of Art, New York University
“Moore knocked me out with this high concept, arthouse puzzle. I was on my heels the whole time, in the best way, gobbling up the next clue as the book pushes toward an evocative crescendo. A fascinating debut.”
—Joshua Mohr, author of Model Citizen
