Description
Siri Hustvedt's What I Loved is a novel that spans twenty-five years, exploring the intricate relationships between two families and the art that brings them together. In 1975, art historian Leo Hertzberg discovers an extraordinary painting by an unknown artist, which sets off a chain of events that will test the bonds between him and his family, as well as those of his friends and their families.
The story is a beautifully written exploration of art, love, loss, and betrayal, combining the intimacy of a family saga with the suspense of a thriller. As the years pass, the relationships between the characters are shaped by both joy and tragedy, ultimately revealing a complex web of attachments that are both deeply moving and unsettling.
