Wonderful!
I’ve loved the PRB artists my whole life. This was brilliant. Juliette did a fantastic job narrating. Lizzie Siddal has been a heroine of mine for many many years. This was just so wonderful.

Beautifully immersive
I loved this beautifully detailed novel, exploring the world of the Pre-Raphaelite artists from the women’s perspectives. I immediately searched online to look closely at their work, picking up details I’d never noticed before. The narrator was excellent (apart from struggling a wee bit with a Scottish brogue which is totally understandable).
Highly recommended for lovers of quality historical fiction.
