I really did end up enjoying this book! It started slow for me. Then it really pulled me in. I wanted more at the end. The mentor in this story was actually a painting, Study for A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, 1884. Georges Seurat:
The painting is used in almost every chapter of this book to define things, make them clearer, and connect events. Ms Stead used writer's craft to intertwine so many connections in this book...She is an expert at it for sure. I didn't actually get what the title was until towards the very end of the book. "Light bulb!" It is incredible to use an inanimate object as the mentor in this story. Could you try that in your piece? All of her characters names had very important stories behind them. That can be important to a plot.
