Intimate and urgent' Financial Times<br>'A vivid portrait of a tumultuous 20th century life' Mail on Sunday<br>'A rich and rewarding read' Daily Telegraph<br><br>'I was a liberated woman long before there was a name for it' PEGGY GUGGENHEIM<br> <br> VENICE, 1958. Peggy Guggenheim, heiress and now legendary art collector, sits in the sun at her white marble palazzo on the Grand Canal. Hers has been a thrilling, tragic, near-impossible journey. She has defied every expectation, followed her heart, and finally found contentment. She is independent. She is a true original. And she'll never stop believing in the transformative power of art.<br><br>Peggy is fourteen when her father dies on the Titanic and her cloistered life is turned upside down. The youngest daughter of two Jewish dynasties, Peggy is determined to pursue a life of passion and personal freedom. But unexpected restrictions come with her vast fortune.<br> <br> As society changes and war sweeps through Europe, she navigates the decadent, sexist and anti-Semitic art worlds of New York and Paris. She loves and is loved - sometimes for herself, often for her money - yet no-one ever takes her intellect, talent or vision seriously. Until she learns to believe in it herself.<br> <br>Rebecca Godfrey's final book - completed by her friend, the acclaimed bestseller Leslie Jamison, following Godfrey's death in 2022 - brings to life the singular woman who helped make the Guggenheim name synonymous with art and genius.
