Art and Lies by Jeanette Winterson
Handel, Picasso and Sappho, seperately flee the city and find themselves on the same train, drawn to one another through the curious agency of a book.
"If we want language to be handled with vitality and suppleness, if we want to consider serious questions of philosophy, art and sexuality, if we want writers to aspire to beauty, then we should be glad of Jeanette Winterson..she is a writer who will continue to astonish, to please and to vex. Art & Lies does all these things" -- Cressida Connolly Literary Review "Brave and ambitious" Independent "Winterson's belief in love, beauty, and most of all, language, is evangelical and redemptive...it is timely and exciting to read" -- Rachel Cusk The Times
