Cristina works at the museum and one day, she was given an inportant job. Paris museum wants her museum to show some Inpressionism pictures. Inpressionism is a style of art and Monet is one of the famous artist of this style. However, the same day she had a traffic accident on her way home.
I like this story and I think this story is unique. The inportant word of this story is "picture." All things in this story, such as Cristina's job, her accident, Inpressionism, and her memory is related for "picture." It was really new for me. This book was thrilling and satisfied me.

Fortunately, she wasn't injured badly, but she didn't remember about the accident. A few days later, she returned to her work. She became busy because of the inportant job. On the other hand, she was really happy since she loves Inpressionism works especially Monet. She thinks her lifestyle is the same as what it was before the accident. Unfortunately, she was wrong. Terrible things was beginning around her. There were someone who want her to die.I like this story and I think this story is unique. The inportant word of this story is "picture."
