The Art of Confidence by Wendy LeeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wendy Lee is related to a friend of mine, so I was gifted a copy of The Art of Confidence when it first came out. Now that I've finished it, I am sorry I didn't read it sooner. I was hesitant in case I didn't like it. As it turns out, it is quite good! The focus on art in general was fascinating. The inclusion of Chinese art history and culture were a wonderful surprise. It took me back to studying art in Hangzhou. And yes, you do basically just copy the masters. The story follows several characters as their lives intersect. There are mysteries and misunderstandings. Some of the men are loathsome but not all male artists are letches apparently. If you like art, give this a read.
