The Museum of Modern Love [Paperback] Rose, Heather

Heather Rose's award-winning novel is a mesmerising meditation on art, love, and connection. Inspired by Marina Abramović's groundbreaking performance piece 'The Artist is Present' at MoMA, this story follows Arky, a film composer whose life has stalled, as he becomes captivated by an artist sitting silently in a museum, inviting strangers to sit across from her. As Arky returns day after day, Rose weaves a tender exploration of grief, intimacy, and what it means to truly be present. Winner of the 2017 Stella Prize, this is a quietly profound read.

Perfect for fans of literary fiction who love art, philosophy, and stories that linger long after the final page.
