Alchemy

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

When a bestselling author and a much-esteemed painter meet at a party, they soon cook up the idea to collaborate and make a book about the life cycle of a woman...

Two brilliant artists get together and plan a dramatic book in words and images about the twists and turns in the life cycle of a woman. From birth onwards, no topic is skirted around.

Alchemy is an inspiring collaboration between Kate Forsyth, an award-winning and bestselling author, poet & storyteller, and Wendy Sharpe, a visual artist with accolades and global experiences aplenty. This endeavour takes them both to new places in their creative lives.

The drama that Kate and Wendy create on the pages of this lush bookβ€”in a collage styleβ€”will speak particularly to women with an intimacy that carries poignant and loving memories, and knowledge, too, of the best things in life.
