This and one of Johnson's previous novels (both of which will be reissued by Blue Door Press in 2017) have earned high praise from the likes of Helen Dunmore. The refined interplay of past and present, art and tragedy makes Johnson's work well worth reading.
Further reading suggestion: If you like Johnson's style you might also want to try [[A God in Ruins by Kate Atkinson]], [[The Listeners by Edward Parnell]] or [[The Past by Tessa Hadley]]. You can read more about Pamela Johnson [[:Category:Pamela Johnson|here]].
