Bronze Medal Awarded to ‘Portrait of an Unseen Woman’

We are pleased to announce that Portrait of an Unseen Woman, by Roberta Harold, won a Bronze Medal Book of the Year Award from The Coffee Pot Book Club! The novel was recognized in this year’s historical literary fiction category.

A reimagining of the life of which there was no historical record, Portrait of an Unseen Woman: A Novel of Annie Shaw is a bold historical novel that confronts the constricting Victorian norms of the late nineteenth century. In 1892 Paris, Annie immerses herself in the Belle Epoque’s vibrant life of art, literature, and music. But when her domineering mother-in-law announces plans to move in next door, Annie must choose between being her caregiver or living her life on her own terms.
