A dazzling and spellbinding debut about a mysterious painting, the secrets it keeps, and the two women connected across centuries by a quest to discover the truth - for readers of Geraldine Brooks, Tracy Chevalier and Maggie O'Farrell.

London, 1991: Alex Johns, an art intern at the Courtauld, believes a hidden secret lies within Diego Velazquez's Las Meninas - one of the most written about paintings of all time.

Her mother died in mysterious circumstances while trying to uncover its secrets and Alex is troubled by memories of her own encounter as a child with the girl in the painting - the Infanta Margarita - who continues to haunt her. Alex must take up her mother's work and find evidence to uncover the truths within the canvas.

Madrid, 1656: The Infanta Margarita senses that those around her believe the royal household is cursed.

She wonders why her father, the King, is a pale shadow of himself and why the Queen is distressed. What threatens the royal offspring? She struggles to fight for her own destiny as the forces around her seek to marry her off and send her from the home she loves.

A treacherous trail through the art world, the church and 17th century Spanish court via drawings, letters and cryptic notes has Alex trying to piece together what happened in King Philip's court...

But with powerful players who will do anything to stop these truths coming to light, will Alex live to share them or is she, too, cursed?

In the tradition of Tracy Chevalier's Girl With a Pearl Earring and A.S. Byatt's Possession, Andrea Hotere's The Vanishing Point slowly reveals the secrets in the painting that have been closely guarded for centuries.

Paperback.

Well made, looks sharp.
Size: Large, Color: Blue, Size: Large, Color: Blue
I picked this up to have another nicer dress shirt. It's made of quality materials. I thought I should have it a little less big than I normally get so I sized down and that was a mistake. That's my fault though. Luckily it fits my wife so she's taking ownership. It fits true to size. The material feels good on your skin. It doesn't have that sheer look that a lot of of button up shirts do. It is is nice and thick. At twenty five dollars it's a good price.

fits well
Size: Large, Color: Blue
wanted a classic-looking western shirt to add to my wardrobe, and this embroidered button-down really caught my eye. The bright and bold white embroidery stands out beautifully against the dark blue fabric of the shirt. It gives off a very traditional cowboy vibe without feeling outdated or tacky. When I tried it on, I was glad to find that it fits comfortably across the shoulders and chest without feeling overly restrictive. The long sleeves are a great length, and the fabric feels durable enough for casual day-to-day wear. It works perfectly whether you want to tuck it in for a neater look or leave it untucked for something more relaxed. The buttons are secure, and the overall construction feels solid throughout. It is a striking shirt that strikes the right balance between style and everyday comfort.

Western Prop Top
Size: Small, Color: Blue
This is a nice western shirt, especially if you’re looking for something for a costume or themed event. It has that classic cowboy look with the embroidered details, which give it a bit of style without being too over the top. The fabric feels decent, it’s soft and comfortable while wearing it. It’s not premium-level, but it gets the job done for the price. The fit and design work well with jeans or boots, making it easy to pull together a full western outfit for a party, concert, or rodeo-type event. Overall, it’s a solid option if you want a good-looking western shirt without spending a lot, especially for occasional wear or costumes.

A very comfortable shirt at a good price!
Size: Large, Color: Blue
Comes out very soft once washed! I ordered this shirt when I saw it and was curious how stiff the material was. I was expecting something a bit more coarse since it was western wear, but was pleasantly surprised to find that once washed it became very soft. The shirt is also very light and airy, and allows the breeze through to cool you off. I was also impressed with the quality of the shirt. All the stitching is tight and neat, and there were no threads hanging loose to catch on anything. As far as sizing goes, it was exactly what they recommended based on measurements, and it fits great. The cut of the shirt is pretty nice also with a bit of a taper, and it looks really good on (according to my wife, anyway). The shirt is versatile enough to wear out to dinner at the steakhouse, or to work in the yard. Bottom line: The shirt is comfortable, fits well, is good for work or going out, and a great deal for the money!

Looked amazing… but not built for broader shoulders
Size: Small, Color: Blue, Size: Small, Color: Blue
I got this for my husband because he’s fully leaning into his cowboy era lately (new boots, new attitude, the whole thing), and I thought this shirt would seal the deal. First impression—honestly impressed. The color is really nice and the embroidery detail looks great in person. It doesn’t feel cheap at all and definitely looks more high-end than expected. For reference, he’s about 5’6”, 140 lbs with an athletic build. The shirt almost worked—it fit well through the body and could be fully buttoned, but the shoulders were just too tight. As soon as he moved his arms, it felt restrictive, like the seams were being pushed to their limit. Which is a shame… because wow, he looked GOOD in this. And that’s coming from someone who doesn’t usually love this style. I’d say this shirt runs better for slimmer or narrower builds. If you’ve got broader shoulders or any upper body muscle, you may want to size up or skip this one. Overall, great quality and style, just not the right fit for an athletic frame.
