"In 1903, the artist Gwendolen Mary John travels from London to France with her companion Dorelia. Surviving on their wits and Gwen's raw talent, the young women walk from Calais to Paris. In the new century, the world is full of promise- it is time for Gwen to step out from the shadow of her overbearing brother Augustus and seek out the great painter and sculptor Auguste Rodin. It is time to be brave and visible, to love and be loved - and time perhaps to become a hero as the stain of anti-Semitism spreads across Europe."

Mehso-so

I tried to like this but it wasn't until the final few chapters that my interest was piqued. The dual timelines were fascinating but on the whole I found the characters unlikable.

Cortg That's a pretty awesome painting though! 😍 7y
Jhullie @Cortg I can't take credit for the painting, I used the Photo Lab app. Since the book is about an artist I thought it fit! 👨‍🎤 7y
Cortg Very cool! 7y

I am really trying to like this one but the characters are so unlikeable I just want to give up! But I'm not a quitter so I will persevere, it better have a bloody brilliant ending!

TongueTiedSLP11 I've had many of those books. 😐 7y

I'm not sure about this one. Whilst reading it I'm enjoying it but there's no compunction to pick it up constantly. I'm only 100 pages in so maybe it will grab me soon.
