The only beautiful thing in Ivy's drab life is her glorious red hair. At a young age, it makes her the target of Carroty Kate, a 'skinner' who recruits Ivy to make money by helping her strip wealthy children of their beautiful clothes. Years later Ivy escapes and finds her way back to her relatives, only to be spotted by a wealthy pre-Raphaelite painter, ordered to sit for him, and to do anything else he demands. Not everyone is happy with this arrangement. The painter's mother is determined to get rid of Ivy, his famous neighbour is determined to paint her, Carroty Kate is determined to find her, and Ivy herself is determined to escape. The warmth of Girl with a Pearl Earring coupled with the narrative sweep and historical detail of The Crimson Petal and the White, this is another magnificent novel from the author of The Merrybegot.
