About The Author	Rebecca Godfrey (1967-2022) was an award-winning novelist and journalist. Her books include The Torn Skirt, finalist for the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize, and the award-winning true-crime story Under the Bridge, adapted as a Hulu limited series starring Riley Keough as Rebecca Godfrey. Godfrey earned her MFA from Sarah Lawrence College and taught writing at Columbia University. She lived with her husband and daughter in upstate New York.
	[A] vivacious fictionalised biography of Peggy Guggenheim remained unfinished when she died, too young, in 2022. Her friend and fellow author Leslie Jamison has gone on to complete it, enabling the heiress and arts patron to narrate a life full of adventure and purposefull rebellion against sexism and antisemitism. The result is a narrative rich in self-awareness, shifting enticingly from New York to London and Paris
Other text	A 'beautifully imagined and superbly written' (Jenny Offill) novel about Peggy Guggenheim, a story of art, family, love, and becoming yourself, by the award-winning author of Under the Bridge, soon to be a Hulu limited series.
