''Dazzling''

Sunday Times

''Truly wonderful''

Daily Mail

Artist Harriet Burden, consumed by fury at the lack of recognition she has received from the New York art establishment, embarks on an experiment: she hides her identity behind three male fronts who exhibit her work as their own.

Yet when Harriet unmasks herself to claim her rightful praise, not everyone believes her - submerging the art world in a scandal that soon turns deadly.

''A novel that gloriously lives up to its title, one blazing with energy and thought''

The Times

''I have told nearly everyone I love - and some random acquaintances - to stop whatever they are doing and read The Blazing World''
