A lyrical tale of family secrets and self-discovery. Denis knows his mother kept things from him. His godmother, Clemence, knows the truth. In rich, sensuous prose, Roberts interweaves Denis' s search for answers with Clemence' s memories of the time she spent working for Matisse.
' A wonderful writer: one in possession of immense feeling' -- Rachel Cooke * The Observer * ' Roberts writes with wit and honesty. ' * The Independent * ' A magnificent writer. ' -- Helen Dunmore * The Guardian * ' Brimming with delights, as full of life and colour as Matisse' s cut outs. Beautifully written with many sharp and original ideas about life and loss and creativity. A novel of deep pleasures. ' -- Susie Boyt ' Lyrical, atmospheric, wonderful. This novel has all the romance of the most delicious hot French summer. No-one writes quite like Michele Roberts. ' -- Viv Groskop ' One of Britain' s best novelists. ' * Independent on Sunday *
