This was my last puzzle of 2019, I’m glad I made it a good one – it’s an Aimee Stewart. I don’t have a lot to say about it other than it was a beautiful image and an excellent quality Ravensburger with exceptional fit and great hand feel.
It wasn’t an easy assembly, but that’s part of what made it fun – the challenge is both engrossing and entertaining.
These were my favorite couples to assemble, Marguerite and Armand (from the 19th century novel La Dame aux Camelias by Alexandre Dumas), and Christine and Erik (from Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux). I haven’t read either of them, but they were fun to put together.
After reading the insert, I must admit that I didn’t know who some of the heroes & heroines were; I haven’t read many love stories and not a lot of the usual literary works either. And yes, that means I haven’t read Wuthering Heights, The Great Gatsby and many other works of literature that most people have read. Oh well, I have no inclination to read them now either – I’d rather spend my time with my family or a jigsaw puzzle to be honest.
Gosh…I typically LOVE Aimee Stewart, but this image seems so blurry to me. Does it to you? Is that just the artwork or something Ravensburgers side? It seems very atypical of her art as it is usually so crisp.

It’s the artwork for the most part, though part of it may be my picture taking skills. I think because it’s couples it’s supposed to be more “dreamy” or something. It was still beautiful and lovely to assemble, like all of her puzzles.
