About this listen
‘A captivating tale …This novel is a delight’ THE TIMES
‘A terrific novel … It springs off the page’ DEBORAH MOGGACH
'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.
Critic Reviews
Praise for Will & Tom: "Witty and engaging.... A convincing portrait of a difficult, yet vulnerable genius and a clever study of the tangled relationship between art, power and money." (Sunday Times)
"Plampin’s deep (and lightly worn) expertise as an art historian gives this novel weight and insight." (The Times)
"Completely engaging...wonderfully evocative. It makes you want to visit the countryside and see Turner’s paintings again. A great book." (Philippa Gregory)
