In this novel of a couple, and of passion, betrayal, and art, Georgia comes alive as never before. By the writer whose work Edna OBrien called "shimmering, audacious."
Georgia OKeeffe is a young woman, painting and teaching art in Texas, when she travels to New York to meet Alfred Stieglitz, the married gallery owner of 291, modern art promoter, and photographer. Their instantaneous attraction and powerful hunger for each other draw her into his world of art, sex, and passion, and she becomes his mistress and his muse. As their relationship develops, so does Georgias place in the art world, but she becomes trapped in her role as the subject of Stieglitzs infamous nude photographs of her; the critics cannot envision her as her own being. As her own artistic fervor begins to push the boundaries of her life, we see Georgia transform into the powerfully independent woman she is known as today.
