Paris, 1936. When Dora Maar, a talented French photographer, painter and poet, is introduced to Pablo Picasso, she is instantly mesmerized.
Drawn to his volcanic creativity, it isn’t long before she embarks on a passionate relationship with the Spanish artist that ultimately pushes her to the edge. A wonderfully atmospheric, intense and astonishing novel about Dora Maar – the artist, creative genius and muse who inspired some of Pablo Picasso’s greatest work – and about their love affair that broke her.
