From the #1 internationally bestselling author of The Miniaturist comes a captivating and brilliantly realized story of two young women—a Caribbean immigrant in 1960s London, and a bohemian woman in 1930s Spain—and the powerful mystery that ties them together.
England, 1967. Odelle Bastien is a Caribbean émigré trying to make her way in London. When she starts working at the prestigious Skelton Institute of Art, she discovers a painting rumored to be the work of Isaac Robles, a young artist of immense talent and vision whose mysterious death has confounded the art world for decades. The excitement over the painting is matched by the intrigue around the conflicting stories of its discovery. Drawn into a complex web of secrets and deceptions, Odelle does not know what to believe or who she can trust, including her mesmerizing colleague, Marjorie Quick.
Spain, 1936. Olive Schloss, the daughter of a Viennese Jewish art dealer and an English heiress, follows her parents to Arazuelo, a poor, restless village on the southern coast. She grows close to Teresa, a young housekeeper, and Teresa’s half-brother, Isaac Robles, an idealistic and ambitious painter newly returned from the Barcelona salons. A dilettante buoyed by the revolutionary fervor that will soon erupt into civil war, Isaac dreams of being a painter as famous as his countryman Picasso.
Raised in poverty, these illegitimate children of the local landowner revel in exploiting the wealthy Anglo-Austrians. Insinuating themselves into the Schloss family’s lives, Teresa and Isaac help Olive conceal her artistic talents with devastating consequences that will echo into the decades to come.
Rendered in exquisite detail, The Muse is a passionate and enthralling tale of desire, ambition, and the ways in which the tides of history inevitably shape and define our lives.

“即使每天不被理解一百次,我也要做自己喜欢的事。” 因为在豆瓣上看到了这样的一句标语,我跑去微信读书看它。 永远不要用你眼睛看到的那些而去假定好一个人的人生,因为你不知道一个为别人擦鞋的女生以后会成为一个作家,你也不会知道一个看似平凡又选择追求爱情的女生其实...
评分奥黛尔的写作梦一直在坚持,却很迷茫。一开始是为了读者的肯定,却逐渐摆脱了别人的看法,找到了自己的归属。 奥利芙拥有天才的画技,却因为内心的自卑和自以为对艾萨克的爱,把功劳归于他人。最终失败了。一个作品的成功,归功于创造者的信念。 两位天才的不同命运,是这条路...
