Creating a literary buzz upon publication in 2025, Creating a literary buzz upon publication in 2025, The Artist by Lucy Steeds dazzles amongst recent debuts. A luminous and evocative tale set in 1920s Provence, it tells the story of Joseph, an English journalist tasked with interviewing the famous, reclusive painter, Edouard Tartuffe. Joseph’s time staying with the volatile artist and his enigmatic niece, Ettie, will come to redefine all their lives in a fabulously immersive novel that manages to combine art, history, intrigue and romance, along with a stirring cameo from Peggy Guggenheim.
