The Painter's Daughters by Emily Howes

Title: The Painter's Daughters

Author: Emily Howes

Review: Molly and Peggy are daughters to Thomas Gainsborough, one of the most influential artists in the late 18th century. However, with such a public spotlight on them, it is crucial that they live up to high society's standards. The problem? Molly has had bouts of confusion from a very young age, and time only seems to be pushing her closer to madness. Her younger sister and best friend, Peggy, takes it upon herself to hide Molly's secret, no matter the price she must pay herself. Following their broken family through generations, this story is a beautifully written tragedy.
