I think what grabbed me most about this story was just the pure human aspect to it, that maybe on some level we can all relate to. Ms. Wynne has created a living, breathing character in Henry. He's shy, a bit of a loner, and we get get this glimpse of a man, who, like so many of us, is just going through the motions in life. Henry works as a security guard at a museum when the painting first arrives. In it, is a woman who captures his imagination. As Henry grows more obsessed with the woman in the painting, it is both sad and beautiful at the same time. The magic that comes next is unexpected, but it is what makes this story truly special...and I won't spoil it ;) I know it's technically a holiday story, but If you're looking for a quick read--ANY time of year, I would definitely recommend this!
