There, at Paul Landowski's studio and in the heady, vibrant cafés of Montparnasse, she meets ambitious young sculptor Laurent Brouilly, and knows at once that her life will never be the same again.

I’d like to think that Maia, who is supposed to be a splitting image of Izabela, is given another chance to make up for her lost love in a previous life. Nuala’s story touches on income inequality between Irish Catholics and British Protestants, on the limited educational and employment opportunities available to the Irish poor, on the important, often behind-the-scenes role women played in the independence movement, and on the limited health care available to poor women unable to practice any reliable form of birth control (and the toll repeated pregnancies take on their bodies).

Izabela journeys with the Heitor de Silva Costa, an architect/engineer who undertakes the ambitious project of erecting a statue of Jesus on the Corcovado mountain, at the foot of which is incidentally the site of palatial house of Izabela. He comes across as much older, the way he has got himself so involved in her story when he barely knows her, the way he seems to put himself across as so much more experienced and worldly wise and she's just a younger, naive woman who needs him to take care of her, it's all weird. They took me along on a journey with Percy Jackson or his roman counterparts and more or less had a happy ending that lead to another quest.Horribly condescending love interests - And not just the ones populating the historical segment of this story where it makes at least some sense.
