An epic, emotionally charged novel about love, art, and survival spanning 1900s colonial India to Blitz-era London by the USA Today bestselling author of When We Believed in Mermaids.
In the shadow of the London Blitz, artist Elsie Turner clings fiercely to her canvases, refusing to let war dim the colors that define her. The bombs test her nerve, but the struggle also stirs memories of her golden youth in India and of the long-lost love of her life.
The daughter of a British civil servant in the Himalayan station of Nainital, Elsie crosses cultural divides to forge an unlikely bond with Tanveer Singh, a Sikh prince with hopes, dreams, and far-reaching ideas. What begins as shared sketchbooks and stargazing becomes first love and a secret correspondence. When Elsie’s father is summoned to England, Elsie is severed from the world she knows—and is determined to preserve it through both her art and a connection with Tanveer that endures through the most tumultuous years of their lives.
Across four decades and two continents, Elsie navigates a journey from lush colonial India to war-torn London, amid landscapes of beauty, protest, and peril. As past and present collide, the most impossible choices and sacrifices are yet to be made in the name of love, war, and survival.

“A lush and colorful look at the first half of the twentieth century—and the colonial politics that played out as world wars raged—through the eyes of a British artist born in India who longs, during the Blitz in London, to return to the town that holds her heart in the foothills of the Himalayas. Those hungry for epistolary novels will enjoy Barbara O’Neal’s A Thousand Painted Hours, written largely in letters of love, regret, and duty that span continents and decades.”—Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author
“From the forested hills of India to the bomb-scarred streets of London to the searing heat of Cairo, A Thousand Painted Hours is a colorful, transportive, and heartrending novel. In a sweeping tale of friendship and love through the ages, O’Neal grabs her readers by the heart and doesn’t let go. Not to be missed!”—Heather Webb, USA Today bestselling author of The Hope Keeper
“A vivid and moving portrait of the love of a lifetime, spanning decades and continents, and transcending the strictures of society, global politics and war.”—Fiona Valpy, author of The Sky Beneath Us
