Description

The Muse by Jessie Burton is a sweeping novel that spans two decades and two continents. In 1967, Odelle Bastien's life is about to change forever when she takes a job at the Skelton gallery in London. There, she meets the enigmatic Marjorie Quick, who unlocks a potential she didn't know she had.

A mysterious painting with a secret history is delivered to the gallery, and the truth about it lies in 1936 and a large house in southern Spain. There, Olive Schloss is harbouring ambitions of her own, and her life becomes intertwined with that of artist and revolutionary Isaac Robles and his half-sister Teresa.

This novel weaves together complex female characters, an entrancing mystery, and a lush sense of place, set against the backdrop of artistic revolution and social change. With wit and style, Jessie Burton brings to life a story of love, obsession, and the power of art to shape our lives.
