Description
Set against the glittering yet turbulent worlds of fin-de-siècle Vienna and Nazi-occupied Europe, this sweeping historical novel follows two women whose lives become intertwined through art, love, ambition, and loss. One is a young Jewish woman whose relationship with Gustav Klimt inspires a celebrated portrait; the other is her descendant, who uncovers the family history behind the painting decades later. As the story moves between past and present, it explores artistic obsession, forbidden desire, displacement, and the enduring power of memory. Richly atmospheric and meticulously researched, the novel illuminates the human stories hidden behind one of the twentieth century’s most iconic works of art.
