This book has already been written. Same title, same concept. The Year of Yes by Maria Dahvana Headey.And it was a pretty big hit at the time. Headley got a lot of press for it. So, laziness on the publisher’s part? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Dah…

I hate it when people just refer to her as Rossetti’s wife. She was a poet and painter herself, let’s at least give her the respect of including her name, Elizabeth Siddal.

Not a fair comparison. The self portrait was painted when he was eighteen in the 1840s. The photograph was taken in the 1860s.
