Portrait of a Man is the soul-searching and heart-warming sequel to The Cornish Knot. Set in Dunedin, Invercargill and Auckland, New Zealand. Available as paperback and ebook. Matteo Borgoni is a desperate man. He must succeed if he is to free his beloved wife, held captive by her father in Melbourne. His picture-framing skills establish him with the artists of Dunedin in 1863, but he has many doubts, and many more obstacles to overcome. In 1913, Tommaso, proprietor of the Invercargill branch of Borgoni Picture Framers, befriends a rakish Italian portrait artist on the run from his past. As the ravages of World War One escalate, fear is constant but compassion brings unexpected consequences. A terrifying pandemic is the last thing they need. Over a century later, a man recognises a portrait in an Auckland gallery and demands it back. Amid another global pandemic, a marriage on the brink of failure, and a life-and-death struggle, the portrait exposes generations of family secrets and deceptions with life-changing results.
Vicky Adin is a New Zealand author living on the North Shore of Auckland within walking distance of the beach, the coffee shops and inspiration. Three words sum up her passion in life: family, history and language. After decades of genealogical research and a life-long love affair with words (she actually enjoyed writing essays at school) she combined these skills to write poignant novels. By smoothly weaving family and history together, based on real people, with real experiences, she makes the past come alive.
