The Keeper of Lost Art (by Lolita Baldock)

I enjoy reading historical fiction books and specifically those that take place during WWII. I do not mind dual ... or even multiple timelines. However, the three timelines (1921, 1938, and 1943) made it harder to stay focused with this book. The writing was well done, but the choppiness between the three time periods and so many characters spread throughout the pages kept it from being a smooth and flowing read. Learning how those that tried to protect and save the art in Italy from being stolen by the Nazi regime was inspiring. This is a story of love, loss, inspiration, misleading emotions, family, sacrifice, and courage. Always courage! The historical details are well researched and presented. And, even with the myriad timelines, it is still an interesting read.
