A vivid, richly observed, and compellingly readable account of the women who held the artists of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in thrall Essentially a domestic biography whose main concern is the tragicomedy of manners enacted by a closely knit group of friends and lovers, this booktells the story of Janey Morris, Georgie Burne-Jones, Lizzie Siddall, Effie Gray, and the less well-known Marie Spartali, Aglaia Coronio, and Mary Zambacco. These women were the wives, mistresses, and muses of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, the inspiration behind the work of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt, William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones, and John Millais. Set against the background of mid-Victorian bohemian England, this book vividly evokes the world they inhabited and the lives they lived. It recounts the romances and friendships between the artists and the "stunners" in a lively and original way, and will appeal to anyone interested in Victorian England, the history of the Pre-Raphaelites, and, significantly, to everyone who wants to read a spellbinding story of a bygone era.

From Library Journal This first novel by a great-niece of Virginia Woolf tells the story of Catherine, an orphan raised by her eccentric Uncle Pake in a remote area of Ireland. Hers is a strange and isolated existence, for Pake discourages most visitors except her older cousin, Tara. She and Tara marry, but the bizarre events surrounding his death three weeks later in a boating accident send Catherine into despair and eventually a mental hospital. For her rehabilitation she must face and overcome her past, aided by the affection of Tara's closest friend. Though the romantic setting and mysterious plot remind one of a Gothic novel, these characters are multidimensional and the story is full of surprises. An intriguing book with broad appeal; recommended for public libraries.Nancy R. Ives, Language Skills Ctr., SUNY at GeneseoCopyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.
