The New York Times bestselling author of The Library of Light and Shadow crafts "an enchanting glimpse of Jazz Age New York" (Christina Baker Kline, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Orphan Train) about a young painter whose traumatic past threatens to derail her career at a prestigious summer artists' colony run by Louis Comfort Tiffany of Tiffany & Co. fame.
New York, 1924: Twenty‑four‑year‑old Jenny Bell is one of a dozen burgeoning artists invited to Louis Comfort Tiffany's prestigious artists' colony. Gifted and determined, Jenny vows to avoid all distractions and take full advantage of the many wonders to be found at Laurelton Hall.

But Jenny's past has followed her there. Images of her beloved mother, her hard-hearted stepfather, murder, and the dank hallways of Canada's notorious Andrew Mercer Reformatory for Women overwhelm Jenny's thoughts, even as she is inextricably drawn to Oliver, Tiffany's charismatic grandson.

As the summer shimmers on, and the competition between the artists grows fierce as they vie for a spot at Tiffany's New York gallery, a series of suspicious and disturbing occurrences suggest someone else knows about Jenny's childhood trauma.

Supported by her closest friend Minx Deering, a seemingly carefree socialite yet dedicated sculptor, and Oliver, Jenny pushes her demons aside. Between stolen kisses and jewels, the champagne flows and the jazz plays on until one moonless night when Jenny's past and present are thrown together in a desperate moment, that will threaten her promising future, her love, her friendships, and her very life.

"This fast-paced mystery, star-crossed romance, and love letter to Louis Comfort Tiffany will captivate Rose's many fans and readers of 20th-century historical fiction" (Library Journal, starred review).

      From the opening notes of a jazz tune, the listener is transported to 1920s New York City. Narrator Tavia Gilbert gives unique voices to a myriad of characters, further drawing the listener into the story of young artist Jenny Bell and her experiences at Louis Comfort Tiffany's esteemed artists' workshop, Laurelton Hall. With constant vigilance to keep her dark past a secret, Jenny strives to start a new life as an artist capturing light. Gilbert showcases her excellent narrative skills through the variety of the characters' backgrounds. There are a couple of missed opportunities to sing songs instead of reciting the words, and Gilbert's narration of Jenny often sounds overexcited. But neither of these substantially distract from the story. A worthy listen. A.L.S.M. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
