Two women, a century apart, are stuck in the same hotel room in Paris. One is writing the story of the other…or so she thinks.
Angela O’Keeffe’s new novel, The Sitter, is inspired by the life of Marie-Hortense Fiquet, the wife of Paul Cezanne. Marie-Hortense posed for dozens of paintings. We know her face, but not her story.
