Book Synopsis

Por la autora de Los amantes de Praga, Alyson Richman

Principios del siglo XX. El mundo está dominado por hombres y el ámbito artístico en Estocolmo no es una excepción. Hilma af Klint, cansada de no encontrar un espacio para desarrollarse, convoca cada viernes por la noche a un enigmático grupo de artistas --Anna, Cornelia, Sigrid y Mathilda-- para crear su propia red de apoyo emocional y artístico. Las Cinco, como se hacen llamar, se internan en un territorio desconocido cuando Hilma y Anna incursionan en el ocultismo, esperando que a través de sesiones espiritistas puedan canalizar espíritus que las ayuden a expandir su potencial como pintoras.

Más de un siglo después en Nueva York, el curador del Museo Guggenheim, Eben Elliot, exhibe la obra de Hilma af Klint y con ello revela secretos sobre Las Cinco y el oscuro y cuestionable financiamiento del arte moderno. Una apasionante novela que explora el destino, la pasión y los hilos que conectaron a cinco mujeres mientras desafiaban las tradiciones artísticas y sociales de su época.
