In love with Picasso

In Love with Picasso is a bold, sumptuous portrait of the great artist and the women who inspired, disillusioned, loved, and hated him.

Alana is a young journalist. Her mother died, leaving behind nothing but threads leading back to 1923, where glamorous women – heroines of Picasso's life – existed in the shadow of the artist's fame. Determined to uncover who her mother truly was, Alana seeks them out – the women who knew the truth hidden beneath the artist's canvases: the jealous wife, the artist lover, the American hostess, and the mysterious Spanish maid who captivated Picasso's gaze and brush for one seductive summer. But who were these women really, and what happened to them? And what will ultimately happen to her? A turbulent past and a reality filled with strained relationships, a male-dominated art journalism world, and a growing threat to civil liberties in America collide. And at the moment when harsh truths yield to Alana, it turns out that the most extraordinary portrait to unravel is her own.
