Summary
New York Times bestselling author Francine Rivers returns to her romance roots with this unexpected and redemptive love story, a probing tale that reminds us that mercy can shape even the most broken among us into an imperfect yet stunning masterpiece. A successful LA artist, Roman Velasco appears to have everything he could possibly want-money, women, fame. Only Grace Moore, his reluctant, newly hired personal assistant, knows how little he truly has. The demons of Roman's past seem to echo through the halls of his empty mansion and out across his breathtaking Topanga Canyon view. But Grace doesn't know how her boss secretly wrestles with those demons: by tagging buildings as the Bird, a notorious but unidentified graffiti artist-an alter ego that could destroy his career and land him in prison. Like Roman, Grace is wrestling with ghosts and secrets of her own. After a disastrous marriage threw her life completely off course, she vowed never to let love steal her dreams again. But as she gets to know the enigmatic man behind the reputation, it's as if the jagged pieces of both of their pasts slowly begin to fit together . . . until something so unexpected happens that it changes the course of their relationship-and both their lives-forever.
I gotta say, 'The Masterpiece' was a real letdown. Honestly, it didn't feel like a novel at all, more like a long-winded sermon. What a waste of my precious time! And to top it off, I totally saw the ending coming within the first 30 minutes. Talk about predictable.
The theme of religion is prominent in this book, with a focus on God and angels. The concept of being saved through submission is explored, as well as the societal shame placed upon women who engage in premarital sex. It is notable that the divine figures depicted in the story are predominantly male. The narrative also includes instances where religious, submissive women play a role in saving men, all while enjoying a refreshing glass of lemonade. Personally, this book didn't resonate with me, as it was not my preferred genre or style.
It would have been really helpful to have this information upfront. This is the kind of detail that should be clearly mentioned in the book's description. Although I have a feeling it was intentionally kept hidden...sneaky move, but I highly doubt they'll win over any new fans with this approach—instead, they're just wasting people's time and money.
