Brilliant, fiercely intelligent and moving -- A.S.Byatt A truly persuasive evocation of artistic France in the last war... A brilliant recreation of a lost period -- John Fowles, Books of the Year * Guardian * A remarkable and very good writer... Everett writes with a rare vividness. He takes a sensuous pleasure in what he sees, and he has a fine ability to translate this into words that have the immediacy of one of Matisse's paintings -- Allan Massie * Scotsman * An extraordinary feat of historical and artistic imagining -- Anton Nickson * Time Out *
