The Artist's Apprentice by Clare Flynn

The Artist's Apprentice by Clare Flynn

In this heart-wrenching and utterly spellbinding story of love and artistic ambition, a young woman fights to be true to herself in a world where duty, money and class jeopardise her dreams.

England, 1908: Alice Dalton never intended to rebel against her aristocratic parents. But after her father's failed attempt to arrange a marriage for her with Edmund Cutler, son of a wealthy stockbroker, she flees the family home humiliated - and determined to make a life for herself as an independent woman.

When she takes a position as a stained-glass artist's apprentice, Alice is stunned to meet the man she'll be working for: the hateful Edmund Cutler. It seems he too has turned his back on his family and has followed his passion for art, and at terrible cost.

But as they work together, mixing paints and composing their stained-glass window commissions side by side, she can't ignore the sparks that fly between them. With family conflict brewing and war on the horizon, soon Alice finds that loving Edmund proves the hardest fight, and greatest adventure, of her life.

A gripping historical novel for fans of Fiona Valpy, Rhys Bowen and Lucinda Riley.

The Artist's Apprentice was previously published as The Colour of Glass.

Flynn, Clare: - Clare Flynn writes historical fiction with a strong sense of time and place and compelling characters. Her books often deal with people who are displaced - forced out of their comfortable lives and familiar surroundings. She is a graduate of Manchester University where she read English Language and Literature. After a career in international marketing, working on brands from nappies to tinned tuna and living in Paris, Milan, Brussels and Sydney, she ran her own consulting business for 15 years and now lives in Eastbourne where she can look out of her window and see the sea. When not writing and reading, Clare loves to paint with watercolours and grabs any available opportunity to travel - sometimes under the guise of research. Her website is at www.clareflynn.co.uk
