This biography of Sunday Reed brings to life a remarkable and fascinating woman. At her home Heide, Sunday nurtured Australia's most significant circle of artists including Sidney Nolan, Joy Hester and Albert Tucker. Intense, demanding and complex, she was a muse to many Australian modernists, in particular Sidney Nolan with whom she had a passionate affair. As well as examining Sunday's role as art patron, this book explores her taste in cooking, gardening, clothes and design. A rich and evocative book by an outstanding biographer.
