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.
