About this product

Product Information

A picture hides a thousand words... On a hot July day in 1967, Odelle Bastien climbs the stone steps of the Skelton gallery in London, knowing that her life is about to change forever. Having struggled to find her place in the city since she arrived from Trinidad five years ago, she has been offered a job as a typist under the tutelage of the glamorous and enigmatic Marjorie Quick. But though Quick takes Odelle into her confidence, and unlocks a potential she didn't know she had, she remains a mystery - no more so than when a lost masterpiece with a secret history is delivered to the gallery. The truth about the painting lies in 1936 and a large house in rural Spain, where Olive Schloss, the daughter of a renowned art dealer, is harbouring ambitions of her own. Into this fragile paradise come an artist and revolutionary, Isaac Robles, and his half-sister Teresa, who immediately insinuate themselves into the Schloss family, with explosive and devastating consequences... Seductive, exhilarating and suspenseful, The Muse is an addictive novel about aspiration and identity, love and obsession, authenticity and deception - a magnificent creation and a story you will never forget.

    Clever use of two stories set in different periods and countries that come together in the end

    Disappointing

    I'd heard great things about the author but I felt the book was a little confused and the characters unconvincing. The main strength was an intriguing storyline which kept me guessing through to the end. The book's title suggests the book was also somehow about the creative process but that fell rather flat for me. We were told what / who inspired the art without really getting it from the artist's perspective. The parallel story of a writer seeking inspiration 30 years later simply petered out.

  • Intriguing and evocative

    The book transports you to two times and locations with equal clarity and the narrative is compelling with believable characters.
