Loved The Painter!

I finished The Painter on Friday night (actually Saturday morning as I was out until 1am). I couldn't put it down and found it very compelling and sexy, much preferring the modern story to the seventeenth century tale (I seem to differ from others in this). I then read the final chapters again as I thought I'd rushed it too much.

Great book, think I might have to keep it and have another read sometime.
