    About this ebook

    Set in France during the Napoleonic period, this is the story of Augustine Defresne (1789-1842), the wife and widow of the artist antione Gros, painter of Jaffa, and an artist herself. It takes her from her teenage years through to her old age. As little is known about her life this is a fictional biography, based on extensive research, and describes how difficult it was for a female artist to play her trade and gain recognition.

      In September 2018, my reader, Anthony, opened Swann’s Way, the first book of In Search of Lost Time, on our front veranda and read aloud the seemingly innocent opening line: “I used to go to bed early”. From that moment – and almost every evening for
