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.

''Elegant and poetic . . . Captivating.'' Marie Claire
''A brililantly written study of small and large artistic triumphs.'' Tatler
