Reviews
"similarly thrilling" to Gone Girl...Smart social commentary meets taut heist when mom Sophie dips her toe into the black market art world, just so her family can have a nice home." -- Better Homes and Garden, "An insightful and moving new voice, Sonya Cobb's The Objects of Her Affection is a smart, entertaining book that had me pinned to my chair until the end." -- DeLauné Michel, author of The Safety of Secrets, "This thrilling, emotional, and tautly paced novel will appeal to fans of The Book Thief (2006). Cobb's clear, unburdened prose allows Sophie's innermost hopes and anxieties to shine. Her brilliant first novel is the story of a woman with nothing and everything to lose." Starred Review" -- Booklist, "The museum details are also meticulous and will place readers deep within the art world." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Sonya Cobb combinesm the rarified atmosphere of museum scholarship, illegal art trafficking, and the sticky desperation of young motherhood to craft a superbly written thriller. Sophie Porter, the novel's fierce, flawed heroine leads readers on a heady downhill race through the world of white-collar crime, where her high-risk gambles to secure the objects of her affection might mean losing them all." -- Karen Engelmann, author of The Stockholm Octavo, ""This thrilling, emotional, and tautly paced novel will appeal to fans of The Book Thief (2006). Cobb's clear, unburdened prose allows Sophie's innermost hopes and anxieties to shine. Her brilliant first novel is the story of a woman with nothing and everything to lose." Starred Review " - Booklist, "A tautly plotted and elegantly written debut about the shame of secrets and the power of home. I held my breath with every twist and turn -- and marveled over each effortlessly beautiful sentence." -- Kelly Simmons, author of Standing Still and The Bird House, "Cobb's real-life knowledge of the museum acquisition process--she's married to a curator--imbues this sizzling tale of suspense and moral dilemmas with a heightened sense of realism." -- Publishers Weekly

Synopsis
Taking a mirror from her husband's office at the Philadelphia Museum of Art was an innocent mistake - until it turned into an opportunity to save her family's home from foreclosure. Suddenly, the chance for extra cash and the thrill she gets from each heist prove to be an irresistible combination. But when things start to spiral out of control, Sophie must fight her new vice - before it robs her of her life., "'Similarly thrilling' to Gone Girl. ..Smart social commentary meets taut heist when mom Sophie dips her toe into the black market art world, just so her family can have a nice home." -- Better Homes & Garden Her Heists Paid the Bills. Her Family Paid the Price. Sophie Porter is the last person in the world you'd expect to be stealing Renaissance masterpieces--and that's exactly why she's so good at it. Slipping objects out of her husband's office at the Philadelphia Museum of Art satisfies something deep inside, during a time in her life when satisfactions are few and far between. Selling the treasures also happens to keep their house out of foreclosure -- a house that means everything to Sophie. But the FBI is sniffing around, and Sophie is close to destroying the very life she's working so hard to build. She knows she should give up her thieving ways. But she may no longer be in control. The Objects of Her Affection is a riveting story about the realities of motherhood, the perils of secrecy, and the art of appraising the real treasures in our lives.
