Notes from an Exhibition - Softcover
When troubled artist Rachel Kelly dies she leaves behind an extraordinary body of work - but for her family there is a legacy of secrets and painful revelations. To her children she is both curse and blessing, as they cope with the inheritance of her passions - and demons. Only their father's gift of stillness can withstand Rachel's destructive influence and the suspicion that her family came second to her art. Piecing together the clues of her life - as artist, lover, mother, wife and patient - takes the reader from Cornwall to Canada across a span of forty years. What emerges is a tender story of enduring love, and a portrait of a family coping with the sometimes too dazzling brilliance of a genius.

Praise for `Friendly Fire':`Utterly compelling from first to last: sad and funny and written with the matchlessly fine yet modest prose that marks him out as such a superb writer.' Stephen Fry`"Friendly Fire" is another triumph for Gale. It is part of an oeuvre which looks ever more formidable, particularly for a novelist still in mid-career.' Richard Canning, Independent`"Friendly Fire" is an intense tale of love, life, intellectualism and passion. Inspirational.' Daily ExpressPraise for `Rough Music':'Like the sea he describes so well, Patrick Gale's clear, unforced prose sucks one in effortlessly...he is excellent at the telling detail and description.' Elizabeth Buchan, Daily Mail'There are no false notes in this book.' Marie Claire`"Rough Music"...is an astute, sensitive and at times tragically uncomfortable meditation on sex, lies and family...a fabulously unnerving book...a hugely compelling writer.' Independent on Sunday
