Description
In 1940s New York, aspiring artist Alizée Benoit finds herself at the center of a vibrant art scene shaped by the Works Progress Administration and the looming crisis in Europe. Decades later, her granddaughter Danielle Abrams begins investigating Alizée’s mysterious disappearance, uncovering a family history intertwined with influential artists, political upheaval, and the urgent struggle to save loved ones from Nazi persecution. Moving between past and present, the novel explores artistic ambition, memory, identity, and the moral choices made in times of danger. Richly researched and atmospheric, it offers a compelling portrait of a woman whose talent and courage have long been hidden from view.
