More about the book

The story revolves around Etta and Claribel Cone, two Jewish sisters from Baltimore who defied societal norms in the early 20th century. Despite their Victorian appearance, they were free-spirited eccentrics who built a significant collection of modern French art, including avant-garde and erotic pieces that challenged contemporary sensibilities. Their bold choices in art not only reflected their unique personalities but also made a lasting impact on the art world.
