FROM THE AUTHOR SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE (1996) AND THE WHITBREAD PRIZE (2003) '[Her] prose is a joy to read' MICHAEL ARDITTI, INDEPENDENT 'This is a vicious little book, and thus all the more enjoyable' PAUL BAUMANN, NEW YORK TIMES 'A . . . funny, and ultimately moving' KIRKUS REVIEWS The Artist's Widow is the story of the good, the bad and the untalented. It begins on a hot August evening in Mayfair, at a private viewing of the 'Last Paintings' of John Crane. Among those present are Crane's widow, Lyris, also a painter; her friend Clovis Ingram, a middle-aged bookseller; Zoe, a beautiful young television filmmaker; and Lyris's great-nephew Nathan Pursey, a boorish young conceptual artist. None of them realises that the evening will change their lives forever. The Artist's Widow is a novel about the nature of the artistic impulse - about friendship, betrayal, courage and cowardice. It is also a London novel, exploring the mental and physical geography of the city in all its variety.
