Summary

A dual-narrative story that spans the 1930s and 1960s, Muse explores themes of artistic inspiration, identity, and the unseen forces shaping history. In 1936 Spain, Olive Schloss discovers a hidden talent for painting, but her work ends up attributed to another. Meanwhile, in 1967 London, aspiring writer Odelle Bastien uncovers a mysterious masterpiece tied to Olive’s story. This richly layered novel illuminates the sacrifices made for art and truth.
