Never Anyone But You by Rupert Thomson

Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Europe, this evocative novel follows the passionate and enduring love story between two women, Suzanne Malherbe and Lucie Schwob, who defy societal norms and embrace their identities as artists and lovers. As they navigate the tumultuous landscape of World War I and the rise of fascism, they adopt new personas and engage in acts of resistance, using their art to challenge the oppressive forces around them. Their unwavering bond and creative spirit illuminate a tale of resilience, courage, and the transformative power of love in the face of adversity.
