Women in the Field, One and Two by Thomasin Sleigh is this week's Book of the Week. A young British woman in post-war London is tasked with recommending acquisitions for New Zealand's National Art Gallery. When she ventures into the basement of a charismatic Russian painter, she discovers a solution that reconciles her idea of that far-away country and her own modernist sensibilities.
