A brilliant and strange novel of artistic ambition, unconventional love, and the search for self.
In 1903, Gwendolen Mary John travels from London to France, determined to step out from the shadow of her overbearing brother, Augustus, and seek out the great painter and sculptor Auguste Rodin. Surviving on her wits and raw talent, the young artist walks from Calais to Paris, ready to be brave and visible, to love and be loved.

As Gwen navigates the complexities of the early 20th-century art world, she grapples with her unconventional sexuality, her intense desire for artistic recognition, and the social constraints that seek to define her. But as the stain of anti-Semitism spreads across Europe, Gwen's personal struggles become intertwined with a larger historical narrative, forcing her to confront the rising tide of prejudice and the true meaning of heroism. A compelling exploration of art, love, and identity, Gwen is for readers who enjoy historical fiction with strong female characters and complex emotional landscapes.
