Her friends included Van Gogh, Degas, and Renoir. Paris celebrated her as a sought-after model, until she picked up the brush herself, at a time when art schools refused to accept female students. By the time Suzanne Valadon was 15 years old, shed been a horse walker, a milliner, a funeral wreath maker, and a circus acrobat, but that was just the beginning of her adventures. Here is her story, along with Ellie's, a modern woman a century later at a crossroads of her life, who pulls Suzanne from the shadows of the past into the light.

A brand-new novel from the author of the bestselling novel of THE SECRET LIFE OF SUNFLOWERS.

The narration could have used more speakers. The characters were hard to desern form each other, especially towards the end.

Enjoyed the novel and both story lines. The reader, however, reminded me Prank Call voices.

I love reading about little known women in history. I don’t know much about art and this book inspired me to look up Suzanne’s work.

Not surprised that women held a critical place in the world of art and artists, as they do in every other aspect of life and history. This tale, comprised of modern and turn-of-the-last century contrasts, was a lyrical bit of story telling that was informative, entertaining and compelling. I was compelled to research as I read! Thank you
