I recently posted a review of Keeping Hannah Waiting by Dave Clarke on my book review blog, Diary of an Eccentric. Here’s an excerpt:
Keeping Hannah Waiting by Dave Clarke is a fictional story of the real-life artist Marc Chagall, but it also is a Holocaust story, a love story, a story of using what we have–whether we have a little or a lot–to reach out to others.
The book begins with Kate McBride, a young woman who works in a bakery shop in Brooklyn, N.Y., cleaning out her childhood home following her mother’s death. Her mother collected a lot of books over the years, and Kate is getting them ready to be donated. Hidden in the spine of what appears to be a log book written in German is a painting, which Kate takes to an art expert and later learns is an early work of Marc Chagall. When no one claims the painting, Kate is deemed the owner, and she finds herself wealthy beyond imagination when the Louvre buys “Girl With Flowers” for $50 million in an auction.

I also had the opportunity to ask the author, Dave Clarke, several questions, and you can find the interview here.
