Seventeen-year-old Julien falls in love with the muse, Clio, as he tries to save her and the Musée D'Orsay's collection of Impressionist art after learning the paintings are reacting to a curse set by Renoir that trapped Clio in his painting.

An unexpectedly wacky novel that I could never begin to explain, but let's just say it involves Muses, Renoir, the Louvre, a dancer, a friend who keeps a goat on his balcony, people stepping out of paintings, art that appears to be dying, and an ordinary boy who learns he may be the only one who can save it. I'd never have guess that such a zany tale lay inside the pages of this book with a cover of yet another couple kissing beside the Eiffel Tower. It is fun and romantic and surprising and (maybe) doesn't quite make sense but who cares? It's delightful.
