Through her vivid depiction of two very different seaside cultures, Sarah Hall chronicles the remarkable life and times of a misfit tattoo artist.
Sarah Hall’s richly intense novel about art and artists, grief and loss, and the power and fragility of the mind.
In Italy in the early 1960s, a dying painter considers the sacrifices and losses that have made him an enigma as he begins his last painting. Thirty year later in Cumbria, a landscape artist - who once wrote letters to the Italian recluse - finds himself trapped in the extreme terrain that made him famous. And in present-day London, his art curator daughter, struggling with the sudden loss of her twin brother, is drawn into a world of darkness and sexual abandon.
