Description
Sophie Porter is the last person in the world you’d expect to organize an art heist—and that’s exactly why she’s so good at it.
When Sophie bought a house with her husband, a curator for
the Philadelphia Museum of Art, she thought it would provide security for her
family. Instead, after the housing market collapse, they’re in danger of losing
it all. So when she accidentally walks out of the museum’s disorganized storage
area with a stunning antique, Sophie realizes she’s found a way out of their
crushing debt.
As she comes close to destroying the life she’s working so hard to build, Sophie knows she should abandon her part-time crime. Unfortunately, it may be too late. The Objects of Her Affection is a riveting story about the realities of motherhood, the perils of secrecy, and the art of appraising the real treasures in our lives.
Advance Praise
"Sonya Cobb combines the rarified atmosphere of museum scholarship,
illegal art trafficking, and the sticky desperation of young motherhood
to craft a superbly written thriller. Sophie Porter, the novel's fierce,
flawed heroine leads readers on a heady downhill race through the world
of white-collar crime, where her high-risk gambles to secure the
objects of her affection might mean losing them all." - Karen Engelmann, author of The Stockholm Octavo
"A
tautly plotted and elegantly written debut about the shame of secrets
and the power of home. I held my breath with every twist and turn -- and
marveled over each effortlessly beautiful sentence." - Kelly Simmons, author of Standing Still and The Bird House
"An insightful and moving new voice, Sonya Cobb's The Objects of Her Affection is a smart, entertaining book that had me pinned to my chair until the end." - DeLauné Michel, author of The Safety of Secrets
