She was an innocent..until she met Renoir.
The greatest artists in Paris never suspected that their favorite model was learning their techniques while she was posing for them. Art schools didn’t accept female students, but Suzanne Valadon knew how to fight for what she wanted. By the time she was 15, she’d been a horse walker, a funeral wreath maker, and a circus acrobat.
This is the story of a survivor.
Emotionally gripping and poignant, a book to make you cry one minute and laugh out loud the next.
EDITOR’S CHOICE, BookLife Review “A rousing novel of visionary women a century apart, entwined by the love of art.”
“…filled with drive and emotion…Marta writes so vividly that I felt like I was participating in the adventure.” Lin Swens
“I loved the characters, wanted to be neighbors of theirs…wanted to applaud their talents…” C. Cain
Recommended Book Club read!
“This insightful, rich-in-detail novel pays welcome homage to women artists of all eras and the time-crossing power of art as Suzanne, in one urgent, illuminating moment, declares, “I want people to hear a whisper when they look at my art. We were here”.” BookLife Review
