The theft of a medieval Virgin-and-Child statue leads Hannah towards investigation, police questions and a search for its recovery.
Hannah worries about her weight and complexion, is recognised as a strong artist, and has a best friend whose portrait is vandalised.
Before reading, mention that the story includes a stolen sacred statue, police involvement, strange happenings, supernatural possibilities and violence near the conclusion. A reader who dislikes eerie uncertainty or abrupt explanations may prefer to check in during the final part.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough; some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
