The Paris Muse

'Living with him was like living at the centre of the universe. It was electrifying and humbling, blissful and destructive, all at the same time.'

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.
