Description
Venus, Vanishing is the blisteringly passionate and page-turning debut novel from Rebecca Birrell, exploring desire, art, and the stories lost to the darkness of history. It is perfect for readers of Sarah Waters, Yael van der Wouden, and Alice Winn.
Berlin, 1928. Hannah is new to the pleasures and freedoms of the city. An artist, a runaway, she is building a new life, loving without boundaries and sketching with a cutting edge.
But the party is ending. Hannah begins a recklessly consuming affair with a powerful man's wife, and it soon threatens to do more than ruin both of their reputations. People are disappearing, and the shadows of something unspeakable are growing darker. Her art could be the thing that secures her survival—or will it deny her any chance of escape?
