I had no real idea what this book was about coming into it, but I was pleasantly supprised. The description of this book is very vague and I was supeised to learn it was a retelling of the life od egos schiele and the women in his life. It was so insightful to life in that era, and it was dripping with drama. It took a while for me to get into it but a quarter of the way and I was enthralled. It was so mysterious and in wanted to know everything about these curious characters lives. This is not a book I would usually pick up so I’m surprised how much I loved it!
