Description
A former war photographer lives alone in a watchtower by the sea, painting a grand mural - the timeless landscape of a battle. His work is an attempt to capture the photo he was never able to take; to encapsulate, in an instant, the meaning of war. One day, a stranger arrives at the tower, announcing his intention to kill him. The man is a shadow from his past, one of the myriad faces of war, and now the consequences of his actions are brought home to him. As the novel progresses, the story of both the soldier and the artist emerge, entwined with a doomed love affair. This book explores art, war, love, and the human capacity for both violence and empathy, raising profound questions about human nature and the role of the artist.
