I loved everything about “Picasso’s Lovers” by Jeanne Mackin, Author. In this well written Historical Fiction novel, the artists paints a vivid and story using colorful images and words of Picasso’s Art and the women that he loved. Set in the political background of the times, the author explores the women’s lives and how they were immortalized by Picasso’s paintbrush.

The emotions of the women and the strokes of the drawings and paintings explore Picasso’s personality. Alana is a journalist, who can relate to Picasso’s Art, and is assigned to profile him for a leading magazine. Alana’s deceased mother had paintings of Picassos in her home, and Alana is obsessed with him. Alana does interview some of the women that knew Picasso, and gets a stronger glimpse into his world. Alana has to fight the male dominated field of journalism to make her mark. Will Alana uncover certain secrets and truths about Picasso that will be significant?

I highly recommend this thought-provoking, memorable and unique Historical Fiction novel to others.
