Notes: Originally published: New York: Harper Perennial, 2009. 1960s Italy: a dying painter considers the sacrifices and losses that have made him an enigma. In Cumbria 30 years later, a landscape artist finds himself trapped in the extreme terrain that has made him famous. And in present-day London, his daughter, an art curator, is drawn into a world of darkness and sexual abandon. A Booker-longlisted novel of art, absence, loss and passion, from Britain's most exciting contemporary writer. 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.
