Her intensity leapt out at you like a shout or a punch.' What would it be like to sleep under such a picture - painted by your father, your recently dead father? That's what Catherine's sister Vinny wonders. She doesn't wonder who the woman is though." "Adam is a writer, struggling to come to terms with the death of his father Robert - a powerful and masterful man. Vinny was Adam's lover before she became his sister-in-law. Catherine is the woman who uncomfortably links them all. Adam, Robert, Catherine, and Vinny: father, son and two sisters. They've been together before..." "Set in contemporary London and provincial France, this is a story of past impulses and present-day repercussions. The dead father haunts his son; in real life Vinny haunts her sister; and the whole novel is haunted by one the form's great early exponents, Charlotte Bronte, and her passionate search for creative fulfilment."--BOOK JACKET.
