History by the Book Club

The Painter's Daughters by Emily Howes

History by the Book meets to discuss historical fiction and non-fiction books. We explore the deeper stories behind historical events and periods in the past.

A love song to sisterhood and the many shades of a life hidden behind the canvas, The Painter’s Daughters by Emily Howes explores what it means to be seen but not truly known. This tense and tender story examines the blurred lines between protection and control, offering a powerful look at devotion, individuality, and the complex bond between Thomas Gainsborough’s daughters.
