Description
A painting's journey through time and across continents is at the heart of this novel. Over a century, it passes from the hands of its creator to those who find solace in its tranquil scene. From Parisian studios to London markets, and along the Cornish coast, the picture moves with each new owner, leaving behind memories and desires. Its story is one of women seeking refuge from the world, finding comfort in a small, intimate space depicted on canvas. As it changes hands, the painting's history becomes intertwined with its owners' lives, a testament to the power of art to transcend time and circumstance. Through its travels, the picture gathers stories, emotions, and experiences, ultimately returning to Paris at the turn of the twenty-first century.
