Critics Review
“Panitch’s first novel is a touching story about the value people place on the objects in their lives and on themselves; fans of Antiques Roadshow will especially enjoy.”–Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW“Panitch’s pensive debut will please art-history and puzzle-loving fiction readers, who will go along for the ride as Grace struggles to determine her own value.”–Booklist“Enthralling from page one! Panitch’s captivating debut is a treasure trove full of magic, a grand adventure through the world of antiques, and a powerful appraisal on the resilience of the human heart.”–Gwendolyn Womack, USA Today bestselling author“Seth Panitch has crafted a magical, uplifting tale of rediscovering self-worth, wrapped in a dazzling story of a lost masterpiece and hard-won second chances. I devoured Antique in a single weekend–this book is a true gem for anyone who craves the thrill of art-world intrigue and the heart of a redemption story.”–Constance Sayers, author of A Witch in Time“Rarely has the mysterious world of art and antiques been as magical as in this fast-paced debut. In prose as sparkling as a crystal chandelier, Panitch paints a panoply of curious characters who dream of musty attics, forgotten basements, and the treasures they might contain.”–Charlie Lovett, New York Times bestselling author“If Dan Brown wrote a novel about a struggling antiques roadshow, this would be it. ANTIQUE is steeped in magic, mystery, featuring a fistful of memorable characters. A unique quest to solve an ancient mystery and find oneself.” –Eric Van Lustbader, New York Times bestselling author“From the moment I opened Antique, I was hooked. Seth Panitch’s charming characters bring to life the world of antique appraisal, where grails are sought, and value and worth are measured by more than what meets the eye. Readers will fall hard for this life-affirming page turner that charms and enchants, and ultimately celebrates the healing power of kindness. I couldn’t put this book down.”–Erin Palmisano, author of The Secrets of Maiden’s Cove
