| At first, flipping through the early pages, I tossed the book aside angrily, its very premise, the purchase of a fake Amrita Sher-gil, wrongly attributed to the contemporary genre, enough to prove annoying. The book has several such gaffes, but I’m glad that boredom and the lack of anything else to read led me to pick it up yet again. |
