Review: Playing House by Donna Brown





Masters only did two seascapes before his hand was crushed."

David and Emma Thomas have reached the end of the road. Only one thing is preventing them from parting ways: a painting they bought on honeymoon. Priceless to both of them, the only solution seems to be to find the second of the elusive Masters' seascapes and each carry away a piece of the past.

Will an impromptu road trip set them free once and for all?




REVIEW 
4 stars

Emma and David are in the mist of a divorce. the only thing they haven't been able to agree on is a painting that they bought on their honeymoon. Discovering that the artist only did one other painting like theirs. David talks Emma into going with him to the auction to get the second painting so they can each have one. This sets off a series of events that make a turning point in their lives.
   Wonderful story of two people who lost their way in the marriage. Both afraid to speak up and confront the problems. Ok maybe it was more David but it takes two. The characters were realistic and I enjoyed they connection between them. Wish the story could have been a bit longer.
