A review by caitlinmchugh24
The Age of Light by Whitney Scharer

4.0

The best historical fiction for me is one that has a new perspective on well-known historical individuals or learning about someone largely forgotten from history. Lee Miller was someone I learned about through this novel. Her varied careers in modeling, journalism, and photography and the times she lived through meant that this novel was very interesting. The writing and characterizations of the individuals portrayed were done very well. The only thing that was not the best was the shortness of the chapters not related to her time in Paris and with Man Ray.
I also like that the author included an author's note and listed her sources for those interested in learning more about Lee Miller.
