His third novel, Woman in Bronze "follows a Bohemian sculptor named Tomas Stumbras as he moves to Paris to better learn his craft." The book, set in the 1920s, features jealous lovers, topless dancers, a transvestite, murders and suicides.
Historical figures in the book include sculptor Jacques Lipchitz and entertainer Josephine Baker. According to Humber EtCetera, "[u]nlike other authors who may use famous names as sensational name-drops... Sileika uses them as legitimate characters that work around and with him."
