Beskrivning
A forbidden love, a life-long secret, and one chance to make the right decision.Ella has always been an artist, jotting down pictures from a young age, and now in her thirties she has made it her profession. Commissioned to capture memories, fading beauty and family moments, her sitters often reveal more about themselves than merely their outward appearance.When Ella's younger sister Chloe asks her to paint a portrait of her new fiancé Nate, Ella is reluctant. He is a brash American who Ella thinks has proposed far too fast, so the thought of spending many hours alone with him fills her with dread. But before long Ella realises there is more to Nate than meets the eye.Beautifully inter-weaving the stories of Ella's sitters – from the old lady with a wartime secret, to the handsome politician who has a confession to make – with Ella's own hunt for her real father and slow realization that she is falling in love with the wrong man, Isabel Wolff delivers a mesmerizing story that delivers a powerful emotional punch.A truly unforgettable portrait of the many aspects of love.

Praise for The Very Picture of You:'Isabel Wolff is a wonderful writer who weaves humour and pathos to great effect…. I loved this book with its compelling characters, thoughtful air, warmth and wit.' Daily Mail‘This heart-warming, gentle story is pure feel-good stuff and should be added to your must-read list immediately.’ Candis‘It’s easy to read – something you can dip in and out of on the way to work.’ Heat‘A wonderful story.’ The Sun‘***’ Daily ExpressPraise for Isabel Wolff’s previous bestsellers:‘Romance in a vintage clothes shop – we were sold from line one.

Perfect’ Sophie Kinsella‘A touching, compulsive read. Love it!’ OK!‘Old passions are re-ignited but should Laura risk everything on a past love or stick with her safe life?

Compulsive’ Heat‘Funny, charming, upbeat and unputdownable’ Marian Keyes‘An engaging creation with a knack in witty one-liners’Sunday Express
