Reviews

Scharer captures the thrill of artistic creation and the swirling hedonism of Paris’s beautiful people.
In incandescent prose, Whitney Scharer has created an unforgettable heroine discovering her passion, her independence, and her art – and what she must sacrifice to have them.
I adored this novel. It’s sumptuous and enveloping and beautifully told . . . I can’t believe this is a debut novel - it is so wonderfully assured. Stunning.
Transporting you into Lee Miller’s life, and her struggles to be taken seriously in a man’s world. This is a powerful, sensual and gripping portrait of the forging of an artist’s soul.
