INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2025 - FINALIST FOR THE BARNES & NOBLE DISCOVER PRIZE AND BEST NOVEL OF THE YEAR AWARD - WATERSTONES DEBUT FICTION PRIZE WINNER 2025
The Artist and the Feast is a captivating novel of love, art, food, desire and thwarted ambition, which builds propulsively over one scorching French summer in 1920s Provence. During a scorching summer in 1920s Provence, a young journalist, Joseph Adelaide, turns up at the farmhouse of reclusive artist Edouard Tartuffe, hoping to write an article about him. There, he meets Ettie, Tartuffe's niece, who appears to do everything for her uncle--from cooking and cleaning to catering to his maniacal moods. Joseph is beguiled by where he finds himself, not just by this foreign place or Tartuffe himself, but by Ettie, who watches everything so quietly from the periphery. Both Joseph and Ettie carry scars from their pasts and it's as they get to know each other that they start to lay bare those scars to themselves and to each other.
As the summer wears on, and as new ideas and passions are explored, Joseph, Ettie, and Tartuffe are propelled toward a finale that reveals long-held secrets and sets the world on fire. Fans of Sarah Winman's Still Life and Paula McClain's The Paris Wife will be enchanted by this compelling novel.
