"At the beginning of the 20th century, the world is dominated by men, and the artistic scene in Stockholm is no exception. Hilma af Klint, tired of not finding a space to develop, gathers an enigmatic group of artists -- Anna, Cornelia, Sigrid, and Mathilda -- every Friday night to create their own network of emotional and artistic support. The Five, as they call themselves, venture into unknown territory when Hilma and Anna delve into the occult, hoping that through spiritualist sessions they can channel spirits to help them expand their potential as painters. More than a century later in New York, Guggenheim Museum curator Eben Elliot exhibits Hilma af Klint's work, revealing secrets about The Five and the dark and questionable funding of modern art. This captivating novel explores destiny, passion, and the threads that connected five women as they challenged the artistic and social traditions of their time."--
