    About the book: 2024 / Portrait of the great artist, painted by his women. 1950, New York. Aspiring journalist Alana Olson wants to write an article about Pablo Picasso in order to land a coveted position at a popular art magazine. She goes to the artist's longtime friend Sarah Murphy and, thanks to her stories, immerses herself in the history of bohemian life on the French Riviera, learns the secrets of Picasso's personal life and paintings. But with every new detail, Alana realizes that the most unusual portrait she has ever seen is her own. “Pablo Picasso is a serial seducer. This is exactly what one of the heroines of the work calls the famous artist, and not in vain. Picasso gave women eternal life in his paintings, but he did not allow himself to be appropriated by anyone. But there was one muse that was able to sink into Pablo’s soul. She left behind not the sweet aftertaste of another “victim” seduced by the artist’s charm, but a big secret. It’s up to the main character to solve it together with the readers.” – Yulia Ionina, Wday editor
