Elizabeth Hickey's beguiling debut THE PAINTED KISS is a page-turning novel about romance, art and beauty that will delight anyone who is looking for an entertaining summer read. The grandeur of nineteenth-century Vienna with its elegant cafes, grand opera houses and thriving artistic community provides the backdrop as young Emilie Floge begins painting lessons with the controversial artist Gustav Klimt. A passionate relationship ensures - with lifelong consequences for both Emilie and her famous mentor. Elizabeth Hickey, inspired by their love affair, did not choose to write a factual biography but an engaging and romantic story. She has let her imagination fill in the missing details and given room for readers' imaginations also to take flight. The result is a page-turning good read about two passionate characters living a life we can now only dream of in the sumptuous and colourful city of Vienna.
