  Taking the reader from Victoria's wild shipwreck coast to the artists' studios of revolutionary Paris and the bloody battlefields of Flanders, this sweeping novel reimagines the volatile history of the beautiful and enigmatic young woman immortalised in one of Australia's most iconic paintings. Created in Paris in 1875, Chloé, Jules Lefebvre's depiction of a naked water nymph, was brought to Melbourne's Young & Jackson Hotel in 1909, where it has hung ever since. In this passionate, luminous retelling, Katrina Kell seeks to unlock the riddle behind the girl on the canvas, known to history only as Marie. In doing so, she weaves the compelling story of an incandescent spirit - a woman with the strength to defy the boundaries of class and convention in order to survive, and an enduring power to influence the lives of others across time and distance.

  ABOUT THE FILM 
  La La Land is a romantic musical drama that follows the story of Mia, an aspiring actress, and Sebastian, a passionate jazz musician, as they meet and fall in love while pursuing their dreams in Los Angeles. The film explores themes of ambition, love, sacrifice, and the challenges of balancing personal dreams with relationships. Through vibrant musical numbers and stunning cinematography, La La Land celebrates both the beauty and the harsh realities of chasing one’s artistic aspirations. It combines nostalgia for classic Hollywood musicals with a modern, bittersweet take on love and ambition in the entertainment industry. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The audition scene where the casting director interrupts Mia's emotional performance to take a phone call was inspired by one of Ryan Gosling's auditions in real life.” 
    
  “Only 30 dancers were used for the "Another Day of Sun" sequence. Most of the people and cars seen in the background are CGI.” 
    
  “John Legend had to learn how to play the guitar for his role, despite being a classically trained pianist in real life.” 
    
  “Tom Hanks was so impressed by the film that, during a press conference for his film Sully, he recommended it to all reporters.” 
    
  “Filming of La La Land took place in just eight weeks, during the summer of 2015.”
