ABOUT THE BOOK
“What an enchanting world! Trailblazing artists, smouldering sensuality, and the rare mind of a visual artist who changed the way we see. Every time I left the book, I rushed to return, to be beguiled again by Crane’s deft and painterly vision, and her penetrating exploration of a woman genius at work in a field utterly dominated by men.” — Shaena Lambert, author of Petra and Oh, My Darling
“I was so invested in the story of this tumultuous and beautiful life that I kept reading one more chapter, then another and another, late into the night.” — Joan MacLeod, winner of the Siminovitch Prize and Governor General’s Award
