Painter of Silence by Georgina Harding
An intimate and devastating portrait of Romania during and after the Second World War, through the prism of a moving and utterly original friendship
I loved Painter of SilenceIt was like entering a dream world that became more and more real, until I actually needed to get back to it. Her writing is so gentle and beautiful and takes you so confidently on a journey. I let myself be carried away. Heaven * Esther Freud *
A must-read ... Hauntingly beautiful, for fans of The English Patient -- Viv Groskop * Red *
Harding's prose is a quiet storm of imagery and emotions ... The rubble and ruin of post-war Romania is tenderly rendered ... it's a heartrending predicament expertly realised. Painter of Silence is further testament to a talent gradually sculpting an impressive body of work. It proves as smooth and serene as a slow incoming tide; the story washing over the pages until the reader is immersed in its depths. This is fiction of the most graceful kind * Independent *
