A review by chrisl1224
The Muse by Jessie Burton
5.0
Just wow. A haunting treatise about the weight of authorship and insecurity of the artist, intertwined with the driving force behind creativity. Echoed through it all is a warning about privilege, be it of race, gender, or wealth.
A beautiful, if slightly stress inducing, read. This is my first time reading Burton, pushed by my desperate search for another “The Last Painting of Sara De Vos” (this was close but not quite there).
One note: The audiobook is just dreadful. The first voice is lovely, but the second is horrendous, so you don’t find out until an hour in.
