Woman on Fire
Book Feature - Woman on Fire by Lisa Barr
HBL Note: I had the absolute pleasure meeting Lisa Barr a few weeks ago at my first in-person book event since the pandemic shut down. Lauren Margolin of The Good Book Fairy described Lisa as, “a fierce supporter of women.” And that is exactly the type of author who deserves the success that WOMAN ON FIRE is seeing. Sharon Stone optioned Lisa’s latest novel to both star in and produce the film adaptation, and I just can’t wait to see what Sharon Stone does with this fantastic novel. If you ever get the chance to see Lisa Barr in person, take it! She has such a fascinating life story and she is such a genuinely good person, you wouldn’t want to miss that opportunity.

From the publisher:
After talking her way into a job with Dan Mansfield, the leading investigative reporter in Chicago, rising young journalist Jules Roth is given an unusual—and very secret—assignment. Dan needs her to locate a painting stolen by the Nazis more than 75 years earlier: legendary Expressionist artist Ernst Engel’s most famous work, Woman on Fire. World-renowned shoe designer Ellis Baum wants this portrait of a beautiful, mysterious woman for deeply personal reasons, and has enlisted Dan’s help to find it. But Jules doesn’t have much time; the famous designer is dying.
Meanwhile, in Europe, provocative and powerful Margaux de Laurent also searches for the painting. Heir to her art collector family’s millions, Margaux is a cunning gallerist who gets everything she wants. The only thing standing in her way is Jules. Yet the passionate and determined Jules has unexpected resources of her own, including Adam Baum, Ellis’s grandson. A recovering addict and brilliant artist in his own right, Adam was once in Margaux’s clutches. He knows how ruthless she is, and he’ll do anything to help Jules locate the painting before Margaux gets to it first.
A thrilling tale of secrets, love, and sacrifice that illuminates the destructive cruelty of war and greed and the triumphant power of beauty and love, Woman on Fire tells the story of a remarkable woman and an exquisite work of art that burns bright, moving through hands, hearts, and history.
