A very interesting first novel. Two parallel stories both located in a farmhouse in Cornwall though separated by over a hundred years. Claire and her children have moved from London (her husband will follow on weekends). Claira has left her impoverished family to marry up – a man somewhat older than she and a strict Methodist. There are many small surprises in this narrative, and most of the characters are not stereotypes. Both Claira and Claire venture into the world of art, Claira’s portrait is painted by Elizabeth Armstrong (a real painter) and Claire finds this painting and has it restored. A great dip into art history via the modern world.

Un très beau roman sur la spiritualité, sur la vie et sur les différentes cultures de ces pays. Il se lit très bien et on suit la vie du personnage à travers son grand voyage de la vie. J'ai adoré l'écriture poétique de l'auteur, ce qui en fait une lecture moins aride à mon sens.
