For readers of Young lady with a Pearl Earring, a luminous and evocative novel of Édouard Manet's muse. Paris, 1862. A woman in a threadbare dress and green boots, hungry for experience, fulfills the inexplicable and wealthy designer Édouard Manet. The encounter will change her - and the skill world - forever. At 17, Victorine Meurent abandons her old life to become immersed in the Parisian society of party halls and cafés, getting together with writers and performers like Baudelaire and Alfred Stevens. As Manet's model, Victorine explores an environment of new opportunities and stirs the designer to press the restrictions of painting in his infamous portrait Olympia, which scandalizes even the most cosmopolitan city. Manet becomes himself because of Victorine. But who does she become, that number on the divan? Intense, erotic, and magnificently wrought, Paris Red evokes the unconventional love storyline of any painter and his muse that transformed the annals of art.
