Beautifully written, evocative and moving. It illuminates a corner of the Caribbean (St. Thomas) and a culture we don't hear much about (19th century Francophone Jews) along with relating the background of a real-life major painter (Camille Pissaro). Descriptions of the setting on St. Thomas and in Paris were convincing and involving, and the characters all made sense in somewhat unpredictable ways. Highly recommended.
