Lisette's List by Susan Vreeland. “Another great art-centric period piece by Vreeland. This one is centers on Lisette, a newly-wed Parisian art gallery worker who moves to the countryside of France to care for her husband's dying grandfather. He has a beautiful art collection, and teaches Lisette about the artists before he dies. When WWII breaks out, her husband hide the art so that it won't be stolen by Nazis, but fails to tell Lisette where it is before he goes off to war. Lisette vows not to return to Paris until she finds all of the missing art, in the process learning about the countryside and the resilience of the people.”
