Publisher : Hamish Hamilton

Description : 1/1 UK

This is a novel about art's versatility; a fast moving gender bending conversation between forms, times, truths and fictions. There's a renaissance painter of the 1460's and there's a child of a child of the 1960's. Two tales of love and injustice twist into a singular yarn where time gets timeless.

Published in two versions, the order of part one (illustration of an eye) and part two (illustration of a CCTV camera) being switched around. This version begins with the artist in the 1460's.
