Full Description
Euphemia
Lamb's story is the extraordinary history of a woman born in 1887 into
a family without money, education or status, yet she managed to break through
class barriers by the sheer force of her charisma and beauty. Her iconoclastic, trailblazing life was a
quixotic adventure of courage and bravado; carpe diem was the maxim she lived
by. With a sequence of lovers and husbands, and gregarious appetite for living,
the choices Euphemia made were a sustained, authentic and ultimately profoundly
moving rejection of the strictures and constraints others sought to impose on
her.
Euphemia
was one of the most famous artists' models of the early 1900s. She was a muse
to Augustus John, Jacob Epstein, and James Dickson Innes. In Paris she became
the lover of Henri-Pierre Roché, the author of 'Jules et Jim', and she was the
inspiration for Catherine, the woman at the centre of the passionate menage à
trois depicted in both the novel and Francois Truffaut's film.
