I found this to be an engrossing tale, with fascinating period details and excellent character development. Tamara’s character, however, is an intriguing mix of credulous wonder and grudging admiration that has the reader questioning her motives. Mostly told through Rafaela’s perspective, we find in her an honest protagonist, sympathetically portrayed and easily liked. Once La Belle Rafaela was finished and set to appear at the Salon, selling even before the event, two mysterious art enthusiasts begin to vie for Tamara’s remaining works – especially the ones featuring Rafaela. Destitute and nearing desperation, a chance meeting with Tamara turned into a lucrative job, and eventually a relationship between the two women. On her way from the United States to Italy, Rafaela Fano stole away to France to escape an arranged marriage. ![]() In this stunningly intimate reimagining of an important year in the life of Tamara de Lempicka, we follow the young woman who was her muse for several famous paintings, in particular La Belle Rafaela. ![]()
