Art, ambition, mystery, and a dash of romance, all intertwined against the backdrop of post-WWI rural France, made for a most enjoyable read.

I adored this unputdownable novel from #lucysteeds #theartist Very unusual for me to be unable to tear myself away from a book, but this gripped me through sheer luminosity of language and story.

The perfect companion for sunny days. This captivating read transports you to the French countryside while balancing heavy themes of wartime PTSD, freedom, and independence.

1920, a remote farmhouse near Avignon. Ettie lives with a reclusive tyrannical artist uncle.
Joseph arrives to interview him.
Mystery, romantic tension, a badly behaved, spoiled artist who has coerced his niece to take care of his needs for little in return.
Unique revenge.

Tomorrow’s reading 📖 #booksky 📚💙 🖋️📚 #TheArtist #LucySteeds getting ready for the spring and summer

Lucy Steeds – The Artist (2025). Provence, 1920. A journalist and a meek niece share a house with an enigmatic, controlling painter. Secrets inevitably come to light. Highly readable, despite the purple prose about food, weather and rustic France. Some unlikely twists and plot holes too. #LucySteeds
