<link>http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780307386304</link>
<description><![CDATA["Set in Paris during the German occupation of France in World War II, this beautiful first novel is centered around Max, the son of a prestigious art dealer whose entire collection is looted at the beginning of the war.  As the novel unfolds, we follow Max through war-torn Paris as he searches for his father's lost collection amongst thieves, fake art-dealers, and destitute Parisians simply trying to get by.  Pictures at an Exhibition is both a powerful story about human nature and the risks one takes to survive, and also a wonderfully rendered, touching story about a father and son who, no matter how hard they try, continue to misunderstand and misinterpret each other." -- Emily Russo Murtagh, Odyssey Bookshop, South Hadley, MA]]></description>
