 A Woman With No Clothes On
By V R Main

Winner of Trafalgar Squared Prize

'Outstanding. A powerful novel. The writing is original, literary, intense, and well observed.’
                                                            Wendy Robertson - Chair of Judges

Who was the mysterious woman who posed naked for one of Manet's most famous paintings? V.R. Main's first novel is set in the Paris of the 1860s, and explores the passionate relationship between aristocrat artist and working class model.

Victorine Meurent was crucial to the creation of Manet's painting Le déjeuner sur l'herbe. What happened to her? History ignores her or dismisses her as a woman of low morality who died young. As VR Main delves into the minds of the main characters in this stirring psychological drama, she discovers that Victorine's story had quite a different ending.

About the author: V R Main has a PhD in Elizabethan drama, has worked as a journalist (BBC) and a lecturer at Nigerian and British Universities. She has two daughters and lives in London.

Enjoy it!"

‘What's it all about?' Welcome to the world of Silver Wolf. In this revolutionary book, Peter Carvell outlines the reality not the myths of getting older. Sharing his theory, Carvell guides you to look forward to your future with confidence and the knowledge that the best years are to come.
