Ivy
Ivy is in danger... she just doesn't know it yet.
Ivy has been spotted in a rough part of London by Oscar Aretino Frosdick, a rich Victorian painter. He needs a muse and Ivy is
perfect - a stunner. Realising quickly that Oscar has more money
than sense, Ivy's greedy cousins order her to sit for him - and to do anything else he might ask. But their 'nice little earner' has sinister consequences.
Oscar's jealous mother is determined to get rid of her son's beautiful model...
Oscar's famous neighbour wants her all to himself...
And Ivy's strange and troubled past is about to catch up with her.
Reviews
‘A seething, dark-edged, amoral snake of a novel.’

‘Ivy is yet another spellbinding turn from Julie Hearn.’
BOOKSELLER
‘Rich in period detail, this is excellent historical writing, often grimly funny and with a teasing ending.’
INDEPENDENT
‘Hearn writes with impish humour and her characters are vivid grotesques, but her modern-day final chapter makes a serious point about the status and fate of these artists' models in contrast to the
famous men who painted them.’
