Stravinsky's Lunch tells the stories of two extraordinary women, both born near the turn of the century in Australia and destined to make important contributions to Australian painting.

Stella Bowen (1893-1947) went to London to make her career, then became a bohemian and the longtime mistress of Ford Madox Ford.

Grace Cossington Smith (1892-1984), a spinster who never strayed far from her childhood home on the outskirts of Sydney, became one of the first Australian modernists.

Their distinctive stories speak volumes about how love, art, and life intersect. (publisher blurb)
