This is the story of four muses.
Women whose bodies were shown in intimate detail, depicted by the charming yet controversial artist Egon Schiele. But who were they?
Adele: his passionate and fierce admirer.
Gertrude: his spirited and possessive sister.
Vally: his independent and proud model.
Edith: Adele’s quiet and conventional sister. Or was she?
The Flames reimagines the intertwining lives of these women: four wild, blazing hearts, longing to be known. In an elegant bohemian city like 1900s Vienna, everything seems possible.
But just as a flame has the power to mesmerise, it can also destroy everything in its path…
The Flames by Sophie Haydock is published on 17 March, 2022.
