The narrative centers on Effie Gray, a young socialite who defied Victorian norms after marrying the renowned art critic John Ruskin, only to find herself in a repressive, unconsummated marriage. Her transformative journey unfolds when she meets artist John Everett Millais, leading to a passionate romance that prompts her to annul her marriage with Ruskin. Drawing from previously unseen letters and diaries, the author presents Effie's pivotal role in the lives and artistic developments of both Ruskin and Millais, set against the backdrop of the pre-Raphaelite movement.
