Lee Miller, a renowned model and artist, arrives in Paris in 1929, determined to pursue her dream of becoming a photographer. She catches the eye of Surrealist artist Man Ray, who hires her as his assistant. Their passionate affair unfolds amidst the backdrop of smoky cabarets, opium dens, and wild parties. However, as Lee begins to assert herself and create groundbreaking work, Man's jealousy spirals out of control, leading to a betrayal that threatens to destroy them both.
The Age of Light, based on the true story of Man Ray and Lee Miller, takes us on a journey from the glamour of Paris to the battlefields of WWII. Whitney Scharer's debut novel brings this brilliant and revolutionary artist out of the shadow of Man Ray's legacy and into the light. Scharer's storytelling is utterly immersive and gorgeous in its details, powerful, sensual, and gripping. Madeleine Miller, author of Circe, praises The Age of Light as "a triumph of historical fiction."
Lee Miller's journey from a successful model to a pioneering artist is a testament to her determination and talent. Her relationship with Man Ray, filled with passion, jealousy, and betrayal, reflects the complexities of artistic relationships and the personal sacrifices that come with pursuing one's dreams. The Age of Light is a captivating and inspiring story that reminds us of the power of art to transform lives and the price we must pay for our ambitions.
