Four women create propaganda in WWII's darkest hour in this gripping fact-based debut novel for fans of The Night Watch and Charlotte Gray Buckinghamshire, 1942: in a gothic villa deep in woods near Bletchley Park, artist Vivienne Thayer paints "Black" propaganda to demoralize the enemy. Despite government restrictions, she enjoys her work—and finds time for a lover as well as her indulgent husband—but where do acts of subterfuge end? Meanwhile, in London, three women painters—Laura Knight, Faith Farr, and Cecily Browne—record wartime life. Instructed by the men in power, even Churchill himself, they must conjure up the bulldog spirit. But as the war's course turns and the lives of these artists collide, each must ask herself what truths and what lies they are prepared to tell, even to those closest to them.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Some wonderful artists By Ginny Although I really enjoyed this book I did find keeping track of the numerous characters -- some much more fully fleshed out than others who figure just as prominently -- difficult. Also, the plot which ties the various artists together is a bit far fetched.One fact that is really interesting is that besides the artists, several works of art (and their genesis) are briefly described. A British blogger has searched out paintings by some of the female artists who served as the models for the characters, and I've fallen in love with LAND GIRLS, PRUNING AT EAST MALLING by Evelyn Dunbar. One of her nephews has started a blog to fill in information and details of the latter part of her life. If you google Evelyn Dunbar you should find it.An appendix at the end detailing the actual paintings (even if just the names) and where they may be seen rather than just details of the artists would be really helpful. Also a cast of the characters or even a map of the Bletchly area would be useful as well.This first novel is a very good fictional account of a little known facet of WW II although the loosely strung plot is confusing. I would rate this book on the high side of 3 -- just slightly less than a 4.
