About this audiobook

Summary

A marriage built on art and ambition begins to crack under the Mexican sun. In 1924, Caroline Vining follows her painter husband to Mexico City, where she discovers a world of radical politics, fierce friendships, and creative fire that awakens something entirely her own. But as Leo Torrey's fame grows and his jealousy sharpens, Caroline must decide whether she is content to remain a beautiful figure in someone else's masterpiece—or whether she has the courage to step out of the frame and claim her own voice, her own life, her own story.
