It's a seminal moment for us at Firefinch today as we publish our first book, and we couldn't be happier that it's the beautifully rendered, vivid, I AM YOU, by Victoria Redel. This novel captivated us on submission, and we're overjoyed that it is finally available for readers to discover.

Only one week to go until our first ever novel, I AM YOU, publishes. A meditation on gender, an ode to artistic creation, and an unforgettable love story that reimagines the life of renowned painter Maria van Oosterwijck during the Dutch Golden Age. https://firefinchpublishing.com/book/i-am-you/
