Jeg hørte bogen, fordi jeg havde den gode udstilling om Sofanisba på Nivaagaard i 2022. Der er nogle ting i bogen, der irriterer mig, fordi de er er opfundet for at få en mere dramatisk historie. Men gennemgående synes jeg den er rigtig god. Oplæseren er både god og irriterende. Sidstnævnte fordi det irriterer mig, at fordi historien er om ikke engelsk-talende personer, så skal der tales med accent. Men læs/hør bogen om en fremragende kvindelig maler, der levede fra slut 1500-tallet - begyndelsen af 1600-tallet.
