By extraordinary chance, the author discovered an address book in the inner pocket of a vintage diary dating back to 1951. It disclosed an amazing list of luminaries from the European avant-garde. BB embarks on a highly engaging quest, piecing together the life of Dora Maar. It contains a marvellously apt epigraph by Pablo Picasso: “First I find, then I seek”.
