About
Elizabeth "Birdie" Graham must defy her family to discover herself.
Birdie dreams of becoming a professional artist, but the constraints of society demand she marries well. In order to fulfil her dreams, she makes a deal with her parents: to let her spend a year at the St. Agnes School of Art in Cornwall, after which she will return home and marry the insufferable but influential and wealthy Charles Bonham, as per her parents' wishes.
Birdie however, has no intention of ever going back. Free of responsibility for the first time, she finds herself surrounded by a crew of bohemian artists who show her just how dizzying independence can be. And when she meets the magnetic, but troubled, Tremayne family, she will be forced to ask herself exactly what kind of woman and artist she really wants to be. Olivia Horrox studied English Literature and Creative Writing at Bath Spa University, and wrote her dissertation on post-WW1 societal changes in The Great Gatsby which has inspired her own writing. Olivia now works as a Senior
Marketing & PR Manager at Simon & Schuster Children's Books. She lives in West London with her husband and a very cantankerous cat called Coco. A captivating historical fiction novel about finding yourself in a changing world. Author is based in London, United Kingdom. Perfect for fans of Santa Montefiore, Kate Morton and Lucinda Riley.
