The Muse: A Novel

by Jesse Burton

An intricately woven tale of art, secrets, and identity that spans two timelines—1960’s London and 1930’s Spain. At the heart of the novel is a mysterious painting that connects the lives of two women: a Caribbean immigrant working at a London gallery, and, a young artist in Spain on the brink of war. Burton skillfully explores themes of creativity, ambition, and the hidden stories behind great works of art.
