Still Life

Still Life

by Sarah Winman

Crafted with elegance and compassion, 'Still Life' reveals an intertwining of destinies in war-ravaged Italy and the subsequent decades of change. In a deserted Tuscan villa, a young soldier, Ulysses Temper, encounters Evelyn Skinner, an art historian embodying a past seasoned with art and covert desires. There, among the relics of conflict and culture, the sculpting of their lives begins, brushing strokes over four decades. Spanning from Tuscan vistas to London's East End, the narrative weaves through the affections and afflictions of a makeshift family. This tale is an odyssey of love observed in the banal, the beauty that resides in life's quiet corners, and the enduring quest for truth and beauty.
