I would recommend this book because it was interesting and had an amazing plot. This book is about a teenager named Khayyam who is spending the summer in Paris and dreams of becoming an art historian. But when her dream school rejects her, her whole summer is turned upside down. When she’s about to give up hope, she meets Alex, a real descendent of Alexandre Dumas. When Khayyam tells Alex her plan she convinces him to help her. She works with Alex to discover a lost Delacroix painting that can save her future. But she soon uncovers the story of Leila, whose story becomes more and more intertwined with hers. Leila is a young women who is trying to escape her Pasha’s harem and whose story has become buried in history. The more she finds out the more this project and Leila mean to her and the more she questions her future.
