Fiction Family Life
Richly drawn and sharply observed, A Nearly Perfect
Copy is a smart and affecting novel of family and
forgery set amidst the rarefied international art
world.
Elm Howells has a loving family and
a distinguished career at an elite Manhattan auction house.
But after a tragic loss throws her into an emotional crisis,
she pursues a reckless course of action that jeopardizes her
personal and professional success. Meanwhile, talented
artist Gabriel Connois wearies of remaining at the margins
of the capricious Parisian art scene, and, desperate for
recognition, he embarks on a scheme that threatens his
burgeoning reputation. As these narratives converge, with
disastrous consequences, A Nearly Perfect Copy boldly
challenges our presumptions about originality and
authenticity, loss and replacement, and the perilous pursuit
of perfection.
