Description

In the vibrant, pre-crash Paris of the 1920s, a struggling young American woman finds herself drawn into the orbit of a glamorous and enigmatic Art Deco painter. As she agrees to become the artist's muse, their passionate affair ignites a creative fire, inspiring some of the painter's most iconic and sought-after works. However, their intoxicating world of art and desire is shadowed by the artist's complex past and the looming specter of history's darkening tide. This novel masterfully explores themes of love, obsession, artistic ambition, and the enduring power of hope against a backdrop of a vanishing era.
