Brief Summary Self-Portrait with Nothing by Aimee Pokwatka
Part caper and part sci-fi, this is a fast paced and intriguing story about a woman’s search for the mother who abandoned her: an artist with the inexplicable and uncanny ability to summon selves from other dimensions by painting portraits. Confused about her own place in the world, Pepper, reluctantly at first and then with increasing urgency, launches a search from the US to London to Poland in an effort to find answers. Meanwhile, she meets a number of villains and unlikely saviors as members of a shadowy cabal try to beat her to the same information. Pepper is quite angsty but I enjoyed the evolving mystery, the endearing characters and the hilarious text exchanges between Pepper and her husband, Ike, who desperately wants to be supportive of his increasingly erratic and distant wife. This is a very good novel, well-written and entertaining.
