Transporting us from bohemian Paris to the battlefields of WWII, The Age of Light is a powerful and intoxicating story about love, obsession and the personal price of ambition. But as Lee begins to assert herself, and to create pioneering work of her own, Man's jealousy spirals out of control, and leads to a betrayal that threatens to destroy them both. Lee and Man spend their days working closely in the studio and their nights at smoky cabarets, opium dens and wild parties. Man is an egotistical, charismatic force, and as Lee becomes both his muse and his protege, they embark upon a passionate affair. She soon catches the eye of renowned Surrealist artist Man Ray and convinces him to hire her as his assistant. Lee has left behind her life in New York and a successful modelling career at Vogue to pursue her dream of becoming a photographer. `I'd rather take a picture than be one,' Lee Miller declares, as she arrives in Paris one cool day in 1929. A startlingly modern love story and a mesmerizing portrait of a woman's self-transformation from muse into artist.' Celest Ng, author of Little Fires Everywhere Model.
