(3) YA This powerful novel, based on the life of Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi (1593–1653), both introduces readers to a real-life heroine and illustrates her story's ongoing relevance. Forced to sign her father's name to her work, Artemisia was also brutally betrayed and violated by a mentor. Told largely in verse from Artemisia's perspective, McCullough's debut is a vivid portrait of talent and strength.
