Synopsis

A highly original, piercingly beautiful work, full of beautiful shocks I felt like a door had been kicked open in my brain, which is just the kind of bracing experience you need at the start of the year-- Johanna Thomas-Corr, Observer'I was reminded of John Berger's Ways of Seeing, enfolded in tender and exuberant personal narratives'-- Claire-Louise Bennett'This woman-guide, who goes from Lampedusa to The Doors with crushing elegance, is unforgettable' -- Mariana EnriquezA woman searches Buenos Aires for the paintings that are her inspiration and her refuge. Her life -- she is a young mother with a complicated family -- is sometimes overwhelming. But among the canvases, often little-known works in quiet rooms, she finds clarity and a sense of who she is . . .'A dazzling combination of memoir, fiction and art book, like nothing youve ever read before Elle ELLE ONE TO WATCH
