"A startlingly modern love story and a mesmerizing portrait of a woman's self-transformation from muse to artist." (Celeste Ng, author of Little Fires Everywhere)
"I'd rather take a photograph than be one," Lee Miller declares after she arrives in Paris in 1929, where she soon catches the eye of the famous Surrealist Man Ray.
Though he wants to use her only as a model, Lee convinces him to take her on as his assistant and teach her everything he knows. As they work together in the darkroom, their personal and professional lives become intimately entwined, changing the course of Lee's life forever.
Lee's journey of self-discovery takes her from the cabarets of bohemian Paris to the battlefields of war-torn Europe during WWII, from inventing radical new photography techniques to documenting the liberation of the concentration camps as one of the first female war correspondents. Through it all, Lee must grapple with the question of whether it's possible to reconcile stay true to herself while also fulfilling her artistic ambition - and what she will have to sacrifice to do so.

"Scharer sets her viewfinder selectively, focusing on her heroine's insecurities as much as her accomplishments as an artist; her hunger to be more than "a neck to hold pearls, a slim waist to show off a belt" is contrasted with her habit of solving problems by simply leaving. The price for Lee is steep, but it makes for irresistible reading. Sexy and moving." (Kirkus, starred review)
"Scharer's stellar debut chronicles the tumultuous working and romantic relationships of photographer Man Ray and model-turned-photographer Lee Miller in early 1930s Paris.... This brilliant portrayal of the complicated couple features a page-turning story and thrillingly depicts the artistic process." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
"Scharer's intoxicating first novel..bring[s] a stunning chiaroscuro effect to the saga of a woman transforming herself into an artist." (Booklist, starred review)
