Synopsis

Ambition clashes with art and love in a sweeping early 20th‑century tale. A young Bohemian woman navigates a world of salons, artists, and social pressure as her creative promise meets the pull of fame and belonging. The Breath of the Runners follows Beulah through New York, Rome, and Paris, where personal longing, loyalties, and the costs of pursuit test every relationship.

Beulah’s journey unfolds against a backdrop of family ties, mentorship, and a husband’s complex influence. As she grapples with what success requires, the story examines how art, desire, and social life collide—and what it costs when a dream becomes a demand for approval from the world around her. The narrative offers a intimate look at a woman balancing the pull of her own voice with the demands of the life she’s drawn into.

- Richly drawn settings across major cities that shape the characters and choices
- A complex love triangle and the strain between personal longing and public expectations
- The tension between Bohemian originality and fashionable society
- Themes of ambition, creativity, loyalty, and the price of success

Ideal for readers drawn to literary fiction about art, aspiration, and the costs of pursuing one’s vision.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

So long as there shall exist in the human breast an insatiable desire to attain some object, it matters not what, if the quarry pursued outranks in importance the methods employed to attain it; so long as need, selfishness, or, most terrible of all, an imperious and unappeasable ambition uige forward the worker, the man of science studies until plunged into an abyss of madness, the artist creates until he sinks: in other words, so long as our cities are centres of inflamed and abnormal activity into which all types are drawn and set acting and reacting upon one another in a relentless and incessant struggle to attain preeminence, just so long the parable contained in The Breath of the Runners must have weight.
