Description
In this masterful debut novel unconditional love and the role of the unconscious in artistic creation are dramatized to tell a deeply moving and intriguing about absence, redemption, and the lies which destroy lives. Alternating between ‘He’, a painter drawn to depict an unknown female figure who keeps on appearing under his brush, and ‘She’, an anonymous woman addressing letters to an absent loved one, Lucie Paye directs her readers and characters with a deftness reminiscent of the ‘Master of Suspense’ in Rear Window.
