This lush, sexy, absorbing novel of historical fiction brings to life two artists who are inextricably linked in passion and competition (Melissa Febos, bestselling author of Girlhood)

A captivating lesbian romance set in the wonderfully atmospheric art world of 1600s Amsterdam (Sarah Jessica Parker, SJP Lit)

At eight years old, Gerta Pieters is forced to disguise herself as a boy and sent to work for a genteel Dutch family. When their brilliant and beautiful daughter Maria sees through Gerta's ruse, she insists that Gerta accompany her to Amsterdam and help her enter the elite, male-dominated art world.

While Maria rises in the ranks of society as a painting prodigy, Gerta makes herself invaluable in every way: confidante, muse, lover. But as Gerta steps into her own talents, their relationship fractures into a complex web of obsession and rivalry--and the secrets they keep threaten to unravel everything.

A mesmerizing historical novel, I Am You is a meditation on gender, an ode to artistic creation, and an unforgettable love story that reimagines the life of renowned still life painter Maria van Oosterwijck during the Dutch Golden Age.

A stunning accomplishment. --Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Day and The Hours

[A] transporting epic of making art and love. --Booklist
