Product Information
Told in the alternating timelines of 1930s Paris and the battlefields of WWII, this "rapturous and razor sharp" debut novel brings to light the life of Lee Miller , a little known but fearlessly original artist whose legacy remains largely unexplored (Paula McClain, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Wife ). "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 took 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 stay true to herself while also fulfilling her artistic ambition--and what she will have to sacrifice to do so.

Reviews
"An extraordinary young woman discovers love and art and betrayal among the artists of 1930s Paris and documents the horrors of war through her singular camera lens. An uplifting, heartbreaking and altogether immersive read."-- Helen Simonson, New York Times bestselling author of The Summer Before the War and Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, "She joins suchnovelists as Paula McLain ("The Paris Wife") and Rupert Thomson ("Never Anyonebut You") in a most worthy enterprise: repopulating male-dominated accounts ofthe past with the many noteworthy women who deserve the same limelight."-- Donna Rikfind, Washington Post, "A masterpiece, The Age of Light is a searing, evocative novel of love and war, and a woman's fierce determination to transcend her role as muse and remake the world through her own art. Whitney Scharer is a remarkably gifted storyteller - a major new voice in historical fiction."-- Dawn Tripp, bestselling author of Georgia and Game of Secrets, "Whatever reams of research Scharer put into excavating Miller's story she distills here into clean, consistently evocative prose. The glittering bohemia of 1930s Paris, the pastoral boredom of mid-'60s Sussex, the hollowed-out carnage of postwar Europe; all come equally alive on the page, as do iconic figures like Ray and Cocteau and Kiki de Montparnasse. But none breathe more vividly than Miller herself: Fiercely independent but racked by self-doubt, desperate for affection and approval even as she chafed at sentiment, she spent decades fighting to find her voice. It was worth the wait." -- Entertainment Weekly, Scharer's debut is both engrossing and cinematic, a must for readers who enjoy a fictional peek into the lives of real-life artists.-- Library Journal, "Scharer sets herviewfinder selectively, focusing on her heroine's insecurities as much as heraccomplishments as an artist; her hunger to be more than "a neck to holdpearls, a slim waist to show off a belt" is contrasted with her habit ofsolving problems by simply leaving. The price for Lee is steep, but it makesfor irresistible reading. Sexy and moving."-- Kirkus, starred review, "Rapturous and razor sharp allat once, The Age of Light fearlessly unzips anything we might know ofLee Miller as model and muse and recasts her as artist, free thinker andarchitect of a singular and unapologetic life. Whitney Scharer is a stunningnew discovery. This novel sparks on every page."-- Paula McLain, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Wife and Love and Ruin, "Scharer...skillfully renders an electric version of the city, pulling the reader into the opulence and mystery of the era." -- Annabel Gutterman, Time, "Like Paris in the1930s, Sharer's first novel is a radiant clashof romance and reality"-- O, the Oprah Magazine, "WhitneyScharer's storytelling is utterly immersive and gorgeous in its details,transporting you into Lee Miller's life, and her struggles to be takenseriously in a man's world. This is a powerful, sensual and gripping portraitof the forging of an artist's soul."-- Madeline Miller, author of Circe and Song of Achilles, "Scharer's scrupulous research and dazzling prose fuse to create a captivating portrait of the little-known - but now unforgettable - Lee Miller, whose exceptional beauty, bold conviction, and rare talent disrupted the male-centric art scene of 1920's Paris."-- Georgia Hunter, New York Times bestselling author of We Were the Lucky Ones, "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, "Scharer's debut is a rivetingly sexy snapshot of the duo's real-life relationship as it morphs from apprenticeship to partnership to tumultuous love affair."-- Kim Hubbard, People, "The glittering bohemia of 1930s Paris, the pastoral boredom of mid-'60s Sussex, the hollowed-out carnage of postwar Europe; all come equally alive on the page, as do iconic figures like Ray and Cocteau and Kiki de Montparnasse. But none breathe more vividly than Miller herself: Fiercely independent but racked by self-doubt, desperate for affection and approval even as she chafed at sentiment, she spent decades fighting to find her voice. It was worth the wait." -- Entertainment Weekly, "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, "Rapturous and razor sharp all at once, The Age of Light fearlessly unzips anything we might know of Lee Miller as model and muse and recasts her as artist, free thinker and architect of a singular and unapologetic life. Whitney Scharer is a stunning new discovery. This novel sparks on every page."-- Paula McLain, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Wife and Love and Ruin, "She joins such novelists as Paula McLain ("The Paris Wife") and Rupert Thomson ("Never Anyone but You") in a most worthy enterprise: repopulating male-dominated accounts of the past with the many noteworthy women who deserve the same limelight." -- Donna Rikfind, Washington Post, "Is "woman behaves dangerously, lives wildly" a genre? If so, The Age of Light is its latest poster child. The novel is work of historical fiction about Lee Miller, a Vogue model who became one of the first female war correspondents. In Scharer's plot, Miller travels to Paris where she meets photographer Man Ray, who becomes her collaborator and lover. While most stories about Miller paint her as Ray's muse, this one portrays her as the independent and daring artist she truly was."-- Glamour, Named a most anticipated book of 2019 by Oprah.com, Entertainment Weekly, Southern Living, Woman's Day, and Pop Sugar, "An absolutely gorgeous and feminist novel about art, love, and ownership, The Age of Light is truly a work of art in itself, both deeply moving and thrilling. Want to know what it's like to be an artist? Read this astonishing novel and then, like Lee Miller, take time to consider the extraordinary cost she paid to be herself."-- Caroline Leavitt, Boston Globe, "Like Paris in the 1930s, Sharer's first novel is a radiant clash of romance and reality"-- O, the Oprah Magazine, "Scharer's debut is a rivetingly sexy snapshot of the duo's real-life relationship as it morphs from apprenticeship to partnership to tumultuous love affair." -- Kim Hubbard, People, "She joins such novelists as Paula McLain ("The Paris Wife") and Rupert Thomson ("Never Anyone but You") in a most worthy enterprise: repopulating male-dominated accounts of the past with the many noteworthy women who deserve the same limelight."-- Donna Rikfind, Washington Post, "Whateverreams of research Scharer put into excavating Miller's story she distills hereinto clean, consistently evocative prose.
