Her charisma changed lives.
Her art changed history.
Paris, 1930. Amrita Sher-Gil arrives at the École des Beaux-Arts – its youngest student, its first Indian – and begins painting canvases that will change art history. Brilliant, vivacious and utterly ungovernable, she tears through Paris society, leaving a trail of lovers, masterpieces and scandals in her wake.
But when she returns home to India, she finds herself caught between worlds. Painting its ordinary people with revolutionary honesty, while fighting poverty, censure and her own restless heart, Amrita is neither of the east nor the west. And more than anything, Amrita craves recognition. Can she tame her affairs with some of the most influential men of the time, while winning the acclaim she's sure she deserves?
Based on the extraordinary true – and tragic – story of one of India's greatest painters, An Impossible Woman is a novel about the price of genius, the hunger of ambition, and what it costs a woman to live entirely on her own terms.
