Her close friends included Van Gogh, Degas, and Renoir. As a sought-after model, Paris celebrated her - until she picked up the brush herself, at a time when art schools refused to accept female students. "I had a hard time putting the book down to go to sleep at night."

Here is her story, along with Ellie's, a modern woman a century later, at a crossroads of her life, who pulls Suzanne from the shadows of the past into the light.

Just finished this wonderful book. Written in the same format as her previous book, The Secret Life Of Sunflowers this one explores the life of forgotten artist Suzanne Valadon. Valadon rose from poverty in the streets of Paris to become a renowned artist in the time and circle of Renoir, Vegas and most of the other famous artists of that era.
If you liked Sunflowers I guarantee you'll like this one!!!
