`A completely fascinating novel about the early 20th century art world and its many dubious machinations.Expertly researched, compellingly narrated and full of potent resonance today' - William Boyd
`Gripping... a picture of Weimar Berlin in which surface glitter hides sinister and bitter truths.
Page by page she brings secret lives into the light; nothing: not love, not art, not politics, is what it seems, and few escape the brutal forces that emerge - Stella Tillyard
In the turbulent years between the wars, nothing in Berlin is quite what it seems.
Not for Emmeline, a wayward young artist freewheeling wildly through the city in search of meaning. Not for Julius, an eminent art connoisseur who finds it easier to love paintings than people. And most definitely not for Frank, a Jewish lawyer who must find a way to protect his family and his principles as the Nazis begin their rise to power.
But the greatest enigma of them all is Matthias, the mercurial art dealer who connects them all. Charming
and ambitious, he will provoke a scandal that turns all of their lives upside down.
Inspired by true events, this brilliant, humane novel peels back the cherished illusions that sustain us to reveal the truths beneath. It asks: do we see only what we want to see? Even in the full light of the sun?
