The Sunday Times Number One Bestseller and Richard and Judy Book Club selection. Suspensefully sweeping from London in the sixties to 1930s rural Spain, The Muse is an unforgettable novel about art and aspiration, love and obsession - a masterpiece from Jessie Burton, the million-copy bestselling author of The Miniaturist.
