Until the Last Day by Cynthia Ellingsen #bookreview

Overview

The fate of two strangers becomes part of the heartbreaking history of a celebrated painting in a novel of suspense and forbidden love by the bestselling author of The Lost Letters of Aisling.

The historic art gallery Hatterfield House symbolizes hope for cancer survivor Hannah Caddell. Like the art she painstakingly restores, Hannah needs to be brought back to life herself. Everything is upended when she and a new client, Lucas Henry, are held hostage by gunmen in search of a world-renowned painting from the Cuban Missile Crisis that, decades ago, captured both dread and beauty in a time of cataclysmic fears.

Review

I love a good story with dual timelines and family secrets. This one fit the bill!

Like the art she painstakingly restores, Hannah needs to be brought back to life herself. Everything is upended when she and a new client, Lucas Henry, are held hostage by gunmen in search of a world-renowned painting from the Cuban Missile Crisis that, decades ago, captured both dread and beauty in a time of cataclysmic fears.

This is definitely full of drama and intensity. I also enjoyed the setting of the Cuban Missile Crisis. This happened before my time, but I remember quite a bit from this era. I forgot about the fear it created among the population.

This also opened up a rabbit hole for me… famous artists from Cuba! Not exactly a rabbit hole I expected to go down. But I so wanted to know more!

Frankie Corzo is the narrator! I loved her voice.

Need a story you will lose yourself in…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.

I received this novel for a honest review.
