Beschreibung
“A propulsive, sensuous feast with one hell of a twist. ” —People. In this “vibrant depiction of Amsterdam’s golden age” (The New York Times. ) two young women are bound by an intense rivalry of painting and power. At eight years old, Gerta Pieters is forced to disguise herself as a boy and sent to work for a genteel Dutch family. When their brilliant and beautiful daughter Maria sees through Gerta’s ruse, she insists that Gerta accompany her to Amsterdam and help her enter the elite, male-dominated art world. While Maria rises in the ranks of society as a painting prodigy, Gerta makes herself invaluable in every way: confidante, muse, and collaborator. But as Gerta steps into her own talents, their relationship fractures into a complex web of obsession and rivalry—and the secrets they keep threaten to unravel everything. A mesmerizing historical novel, I Am You. is a meditation on gender, an ode to artistic creation, and an unexpected friendship that reimagines the life of renowned painter Maria van Oosterwijck during the Dutch Golden Age. “A stunning accomplishment. ” —Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Day. and The Hours.
