‘Utterly beautiful … filled with hope’ Joanna Cannon, author of Three Things About Elsie
’A gorgeous, generous story of kind hearts and kindred spirits’ Daily Mirror
From the author of When God was a Rabbit and Tin Man, Still Life is a big-hearted story of the families we forge and the friendships that make us.
1944, Italy. As bombs fall around them, two strangers meet in the ruined wine cellar of a Tuscan villa and share an extraordinary evening.
Ulysses Temper is a young British soldier, Evelyn Skinner a 64-year-old art historian living life on her own terms. She has come to salvage paintings from the wreckage of war and relive memories of her youth when her heart was stolen by an Italian maid in a particular room with a view. Ulysses’ chance encounter with Evelyn will transform his life – and all those who love him back home in London – forever.
Uplifting, sweeping and full of unforgettable characters, Still Life is a novel about beauty, love, family and friendship.

Wat een parel van een boek waarin liefde in al haar mooiste vormen beschreven wordt. Ontroerend en geestig geschreven en ook waanzinnig voorgelezen door de schrijfster zelf. De verschillende stemmen van de karakters passen zo goed dat ik denk dat het als luisterboek het best tot zijn recht komt.

It's not the Winman I know from Tin Man. It's well written but a little sentimental and flowery when it tries to be more philosophical. Very enjoyable summer listen because it's well read by author who brings characters memorably alive.
