In The Sun Rose in Paris: (Portraits in Blue - Book One) by Penny Fields-Schneider
When Jack Tomlinson embarks on an unforgettable journey to Paris that profoundly changes him, bringing both immense joy and deep sorrow.
Jack dreads the prospect of joining his father’s wool brokerage business. However, an unexpected birthday gift—an exciting trip to London—offers him a break from his lackluster future and the chance to explore the city's magnificent landmarks through painting. During the ocean voyage, Jack meets a fellow artist, and their blossoming friendship expands his horizons as he becomes enchanted by her stories of the modern art movement sweeping across Europe.
As Jack is introduced to the unconventional Bloomsbury Set, a group of people who live by their passions for art, writing, and relationships rather than societal norms, his traditional values are put to the test. When he receives an invitation to study in Paris, he decides to delay his responsibilities at home. In the vibrant bohemian world of Paris, Jack falls in love in ways he never imagined and finds artistic inspiration through introductions to icons like Picasso and Gertrude Stein. However, the weight of his conservative upbringing makes it difficult to fully embrace his new life. Jack faces a tough decision: return to the life he knows, forsaking his dreams of an art-filled future with the woman he loves, or pursue an uncertain path far from home, embracing his passion and the unpredictable life ahead.
The Sun Rose in Paris is the first book in the captivating Portraits in Blue historical fiction series. If you enjoy immersive characters, rich historical detail, and being transported to another time and place, you’ll be drawn into Penny Fields-Schneider’s enchanting narrative.
