Book Review: The Sidewalk Artist

The Sidewalk Artist by Gina Buonaguro and Janice Kirk

This is a very clever little book (recommended by my colleague Gail) that weaves true history from the age of Raphael with a modern-day love story, complete with a painter for this age.

Tulia is traveling around Europe when she happens upon a magnetic sidewalk artist, who shows her the sights and slowly wins her heart, all while she is writing a new novel on the life of the Italian painter Raphael.

This is a lovely little love story, complete with jealousy-inducing travels in Paris and Italy. Very sweet!
