The Artist’s Secret by Alexandra Joel

Rosemary’s Book of the Week

1965: After escaping from anti-war turmoil and the suffocating weight of family expectations, a beautiful young couple embrace a life free of materialism and tradition by a sapphire lake in Italy. But the past does not always let go so easily…

1987: When talented art historian Wren Summers lands her dream job at the Sydney Art Museum, it seems she can finally leave her wildly unconventional background behind- until a treacherous act threatens everything she has strived for.

The revelation of a monstrous family secret sees Wren head to New York compelled to find the missing girl who holds the key to this shocking mystery- and to make a fresh start in the glittering realm of international art auctions. As she struggles to fulfil her quest, can she navigate this new, high-stakes world of swirling temptation, romance and deceit, danger and betrayal, while staying true to what she knows is right?
