For more than fifty years before his death, the renowned poet, Robert Graves, made his home in Mallorca. There, his inspiration came from a succession of muses: young women who incited his creativity, including in the last years of his life, Maria Jesus Gonzalez. In old age Maria Jesus is the jealous guardian of the love poetry which unknown to anyone else, the grand old man of English letters had dedicated to her some forty years previously. When finally her secret is divulged there are unforeseen consequences for her, her family, and an academia hungry for her property. This is the story of Graves' last muse, the forgotten muse, the Spanish muse.
