It's been some time since I have participated in this meme. After hearing about a favorite author's next book I decided it was time for me to revisit the meme. A few weeks ago it came to my attention that Nancy Bilyeau will be publishing the sequel to her The Blue historical novel. The new book is titled The Fugitive Colours. It is scheduled for publication on May 12, 2022 and I hate to have to wait four more months to get it.
If you haven't read The Blue you need to. It is the story of Genevieve Planché, an English-born descendant of Huguenot refugees, who wants to be a painter. After meeting a famous artist she is offered an opportunity to learn how to paint on porcelain in exchange for obtaining the secret of a china company's recipe for the color blue. If she is successful in obtaining the secret, she will get her wish to travel to Venice for training in oil painting.
All of Bilyeau's novels have been fabulous reading. I especially loved The Blue because I am an artist so this four month wait will be excruciating.
