'Vividly engaging’ SUNDAY TIMES

Chelsea, 1876

Struggling artist Jimmy Whistler is at war with his patron. Denied full payment, he and muse Maud Franklin face ruin.

As Jimmy’s enemies mount, he resolves to sue a famous critic for libel, in a last-ditch attempt to ward off the bailiffs. Although she has no position in society, Maud is expected to do her part. But Maud has a secret that forces her to choose between art and love.

Mrs Whistler is a dazzling glimpse inside a world of passion,
art and power.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book even though I had no previous knowledge of Whistlers art work. The characters felt real and lively. I would read another book by this author, perhaps Will and Tom.
