Book Synopsis

Apasionada, libre, indómita. Ella es la novia del viento. Una artista que emergió con la fuerza de la naturaleza para cautivar el mundo.

Una historia de superación y coraje inspirada en la vida de la pintora Leonora Carrington.

Londres, 1937. Si hay algo que Rebecca Heyworth odie más que asistir a las fiestas que organizan sus padres es saber que pronto se verá obligada a escoger marido. Ella no quiere a un hombre que la controle, solo quiere pintar y que la dejen vivir a su manera. De momento, tiene que conformarse con asistir a unas clases de arte, pero todo cambia cuando el atractivo Leopold se cruza en su camino.

Leopold Blum, un pintor de origen alemán afincado en París, es miembro destacado del surrealismo y acude a la capital inglesa para exponer su obra. Fascinado por la vitalidad y la pasión de la joven, la invita a acompañarlo a Francia.

Tras romper con su familia y su pasado, Rebecca viajará hasta la ciudad de la luz, donde se codeará con los artistas del momento, vivirá una intensa historia de amor y descubrirá su auténtico talento mientras la sombra de la Segunda Guerra Mundial se cierne sobre el futuro del mundo y amenaza con tomar las riendas de sus destinos.
