Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Every painting tells a story, but what if the women on the canvas could talk?

Adele: passionate, fierce, obstinate. The daughter of a bourgeois family in 1900s Vienna, she rails against the strictures of her class and longs for freedom.

Gertrude: spirited, single-minded, possessive. The sister to budding artist Egon Schiele, she longs for an exciting life away from their tempestuous family home.

Vally: determined, independent, proud. A model for celebrated artist Gustav Klimt, she has carved her way out of poverty and is now forging a brave new path for herself.

Edith: quiet, conventional, loyal. Or is she? Younger sister to Adele, Edith is overlooked and wonders if there is another version of the woman she might become.

Four flames, four wild, blazing hearts, longing to be known. All four will become muses to the charismatic but controversial artist Egon Schiele. In an elegant bohemian city like Vienna, everything seems possible - until an act of betrayal changes everything. For just as a flame has the power to mesmerize, it can also destroy everything in its path....

Passion and love and art

This is a brilliant novel about some amazing women and man who was a fantastic artist! Art verses pornography - that is always the question in the pre-internet era! Egon Schiele was undoubtedly a remarkable talent! Gustav Klimt led the way and Schiele should have been his successor! The best thing I have listened to in ages! Amazing!
