Sci Fi novel where elite society imports artist from another planet

Hi, I read this book sometime in the early 80's (my early teens) but it was potentially for an older audience.

From what I can recall a female sculptor was transported, along with other such arty types, from a planet where civil unrest was widespread to an elitist and priviliged society. The outcome of this book is sadly lost to me although I do remember that the girl affects the society into which she was brought, not necessarily for the better.

I always remembered it being called 'The Enid' but can't seem to find it anywhere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The ennead by Jan Mark. You were so close!

Thank you SO much. You've laid to rest almost 3 decades of mental itching.

Truly appreciated.

a.

Hope you enjoy rereading when you track down a copy! I really liked Jan Mark's other teen SF novels, Aquarius and Divide and rule, too.
