Opis

From the Top Ten bestselling author of The Dovekeepers, to be a television mini-series in 2015, comes a forbidden love story set on the tropical island of St Thomas about one of history's most captivating 'invisible' women: Rachel Pissarro, the rebellious, headstrong Jewish mother of impressionist painter Camille Pissarro - who in 1825 defied her insular religious community to follow her heart. Inspired by a true story, this sweeping romance follows the course of one woman's dramatic life. The daughter of a merchant, Rachel is married off as a teenager to a local widower whose business will help her father's; she finds herself suddenly running a household and stepmother to three children. When her husband dies unexpectedly, his 22-year-old nephew, Frederick, arrives from France to settle the estate, only to fall passionately in love with both Rachel and the glorious island of her birth.Their love sparks a scandal in the little town - one that has reverberations halfway across the globe. One of the children of this union is Jacobo Camille Pissarro who, inspired by his mother's iron will and faith in her own heart, will grow up to become the Father of Impressionism.
