Books like Floodtide by Kay Thorpe
Jos Blakeman is a brilliant sculptor, renowned for breathing life into marble, stone and bronze. His passion for the artistic form leads him to capture the idealized beauty of Dale Ryland, a journalist who was untouched by his former lovers’ attention. After sculpting Dale’s ‘perfect’ body, Jos arranges for the woman herself—rather than a statue—to become his partner, but doubts remain whether he can transfer the same devotion to a living woman as he does to his bronze creation. The novel examines artistic obsession, the ache of self‑creation, and the possibility of love beyond the image.
