Description
Ana Anderssen, Professor of History of Art at Birkbeck University, arrives in rural France with a mission to research Chaïm Soutine's refuge during WW2. At the family chateau, she meets Gilles and settles into a world of 1960s charm, complete with a Citroen DS and Camel cigarettes. As Ana becomes immersed in her research, espionage, art history, and personal encounters begin to intertwine. The narrative is peppered with witty dialogue that adds to the novel's humor and authenticity. Alan Halliday masterfully weaves fact and fiction together, creating a unique reading experience reminiscent of Marcel Proust. The story unfolds as Ana writes her own book, "Tante Brutus", which becomes a novella under the pseudonym of Alan Halliday.
