The Blue Bath
The Blue Bath | Mary Waters-Sayer
10 posts | 7 read | 5 to read
Kat Lind, an American expatriate living in London with her entrepreneur husband and their young son, attends an opening at a prestigious Mayfair art gallery and is astonished to find her own face on the walls. The portraits are evidence of a long-ago love affair with the artist, Daniel Blake. Unbeknownst to her, he has continued to paint her ever since. Kat is seduced by her reflection on canvas and when Daniel appears in London, she finds herself drawn back into the sins and solace of a past that suddenly no longer seems so far away.When the portraits catch the attention of the public, threatening to reveal not only her identity, but all that lies beyond the edges of the canvases, Kat comes face to face with the true price of their beauty and with all that she now could lose. Moving between the glamour of the London art world and the sensuous days of a love affair in a dusty Paris studio, life and art bleed together as Daniel and Kat's lives spin out of control, leading to a conclusion that is anything but inevitable.

I liked the juxtaposition of the historic home renovation against her relationship; the past colliding with the modern of the architecture and the premise that the past simply cannot be erased because the bones of the home will always be there, just like her past choices have made her who she is.

This week's book bin books. I'm half hoping no one takes Blue Bath so I can have it back. Book culling is so incredibly painful. 📚😭

Im not sure how to rate this one. It was beautifully written. Poetic, but in a simplistic way, not over the top. Haunting. Yet let me wanting, and I don't know if in a good, literary way, or as if the author should have said more. I felt it was missing a little in character development, but that's my focus of most novels. Overall a pic, simply because of how drawn I was to at least the last half of the book.

Exceptional writing, strong sense of place. Paris, London, art, the undying pull of a first love.

Beautifully written. But a romance about infidelity, which I don't like.
