The Age of Light by Whitney Scharer
4.0
Excellent historical fiction about Lee Miller, Vogue model turned WWII war correspondent & photographer. I was unfamiliar with Lee Miller before reading this book, and I look forward to exploring some of the resources cited in the author's note.
It is 1929 and Lee Miller, a 23 year old Vogue model, has just moved to Paris. Lee wants to become a photographer, and when she meets Man Ray one night, she asks him to mentor her. As they work together, they discover new photographic techniques and embark on a tumultuous love affair.
I really enjoy books set in 1920s Paris. I found Lee to be a fascinating character, and it was cool to be able to look up the photographs discussed in the narrative. Thanks BOTM
