The Picture Palace by Paul Theroux is a breathtaking tale of obsession and self-discovery. Maude Pratt, a legendary photographer, has spent her life behind the lens, capturing the inner lives of her subjects with uncanny precision. But when a young archivist arrives at her Cape Cod home to sort through her fifty years of work, Maude is forced to confront the secrets she has hidden in the picture palace of her memory. As the past and present collide, Maude's obsessive nature is revealed, and the true extent of her inner world is exposed. This intricately brilliant story is a masterful exploration of the human psyche, one that will keep you turning the pages until the very end. Paul Theroux is a renowned author known for his highly acclaimed novels and travel books, including Ghost Train to the Eastern Star and Dark Star Safari.
