L’Origine:
The Secret Life Of The World’s Most Erotic Masterpiece,
by Lilianne Milgrom
(historical fiction)
Release date: July 28, 2020
at Little French Girl Press
255 pages
2020 Indie B.R.A.G. Medallion Award
Review copy available in kindle or epub format
‘L’Origine‘ traces the extraordinary, clandestine odyssey of an iconic 19th century painting that shook up the author’s world and continues to scandalize all who set eyes upon it.
Gustave Courbet’s portrait of a woman’s exposed torso and sex – audaciously entitled ‘L’Origine du monde’ (The Origin of the World) – was so shocking it was kept hidden for a century and a half, surviving revolution, Nazi plunder and the foibles of its eccentric owners.
Today it draws millions of visitors to Paris’ Orsay Museum. Lilianne Milgrom brings a fresh, feminine perspective to an iconic work of art created specifically for the male gaze.
‘L’Origine‘ offers readers more than a riveting romp through history–it also reflects society’s complex attitude towards female nudity.
NB: this is a historical novel, no explicit scenes

HI! I’ve just found your lovely blog. I also write stories set in France and run a page with a few thousand Paris lovers so I’ll share this page with them! Can you let me know how I could participate in any future Book Tours? I have a small networking group of likeminded writers who might be interested also.
cheers
