An exquisitely sensual novel of art, absence, loss and passion, from one of Britain's most exciting contemporary writers. Moving between Italy and England, the lives of four people intertwine across half a century: a dying painter considers the sacrifices and losses that have made him an enigma; a blind girl tries to make sense of a world she can no longer see; a landscape artist finds himself trapped in dangerous terrain, and a young woman embarks on a dangerous affair of darkness and sexual abandon. 'Affords the deepest pleasures fiction has to offer.' Nadeem Aslam 'This deeply sensual novel is what you rarely find -- an intelligent page-turner.' Sunday Telegraph'Elegant and poetic .
. . Captivating.' Marie Claire'A brililantly written study of small and large artistic triumphs.' Tatler
