A review by bibliobrittish
The Muse by Jessie Burton

4.0

It's rare that a novel so accurately depicts the creative spirit in ways both accessible and profound, but Jessie Burton's Muse does exactly that. The use of dual perspectives, separated in time and place, but ineffably linked, lends itself further to the enigma that is art - different to each who experience it.
The Muse is a lovely little mystery set amidst the beginnings and aftermath of war, interspersed with equally tantalizing bits of romance, friendship, and family drama. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well this picture is best written by Burton.
