Alternating between London in 1960s and Andalusia in the late 1930s, The Muse <\/em>by Jessie Burton is the story of art, love and betrayal.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Having enjoyed an art world story centred around a single painting in The Improbability of Love<\/em> by Hannah Rothschild<\/a><\/span>, I was very curious about Jessie Burton\u2019s second novel also revolving around an acclaimed painting. My expectations were high since the former was on my list of Favourite Books of 2016<\/a><\/span>. Both the books are very different in their ways of approaching the basic plot line. While Rothschild pens down a rollicking, movie-like plot with amazing food descriptions and unscrupulous art dealers, Burton tells her story focusing on friendships, love and women with dreams.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nIn Brief<\/h3>\n
