June/July Art Book Club – The Flames by Sophie Haydock

Book Overview (from Amazon.com)

In Vienna, a new century is dawning. The beautiful city is teeming with art, music and radical ideas. In this new world, anything seems possible…

This is the story of four women and the elusive artist who changed their lives.

Daughters of a prominent Viennese family, Edith and Adele are expected to follow the rules – to marry well, and produce children. Gertrude is in thrall to her flamboyant older brother. Marked by a traumatic childhood, she envies the freedom so readily granted to him. Vally was born into poverty but is making her way in the world as a model for the eminent artist Gustav Klimt.

Fierce, passionate and determined, none of these women is quite what they seem. But their lives are set on a collision course when they become entangled with the controversial young artist Egon Schiele whose work – and private life – are sending shockwaves through society. All it will take is a single act of betrayal to set their world on fire.
