Fiction
As an American appraiser of fine Chinese porcelain, Lia
Frank holds fragile beauty in her hands, examines priceless
treasure with a magnifying lens. But when Lia looks in the
mirror, she sees the flaws in herself, a woman wary of love,
cut off from the world around her. Still, when she is sent
to Beijing to authenticate a collection of rare pieces, Lia
will find herself changing in surprising ways…coming alive
in the shadow of an astounding mystery.
As Lia
evaluates each fragile pot, she must answer questions that
will reverberate through dozens of lives: Where did these
works of art come from? Are they truly authentic? Or are
they impossibly beautiful forgeries--part of the perilous
underworld of Chinese art? As Lia examines her treasure, a
breathtaking mystery unravels around her. And with political
intrigue intruding on her world of provenance and beauty,
Lia is drawn into another, more personal drama--a love
affair that could alter the course of her life.
