Mary Adams, once a maid, now finds herself swept into the glamorous yet dangerous world of Victorian art and society. As she becomes the muse of a famous painter, Mary must navigate secrets, ambition, and betrayal — all while discovering her own strength and voice in a world that seeks to define her.
Bennett blends rich historical detail with a compelling heroine — atmospheric, romantic, and full of intrigue. Buzzed for its Victorian art setting, female empowerment themes, and the kind of lush historical storytelling that pulls you straight into another era.
Perfect for fans of Philippa Gregory (The Other Boleyn Girl), Jennifer Donnelly (A Gathering Light), and Elizabeth Fremantle (Queen’s Gambit). Read Following Ophelia first for the full Mary Adams experience.
A paperback (2018) in Very Good condition — minimal wear, crisp pages, binding tight.
