Her side of the picture
The reader is given glimpses of Miller’s traumatic childhood—raped at seven, a photographer father who would shoot her in the nude as a teenager. But it is Ray’s professional betrayal that prompts her to leave him, throwing up questions of ownership.
Whitney Scharer's debut novel The Age of Light joins the ranks of books about gifted women whose lives have been eclipsed by their male counterparts. Her subject is the story of 20th century American photographer Lee Miller.
