Synopsis
Gifted artist Rachel Kelly is a whirlwind of creative highs and anguished, crippling lows. She's also something of an enigma to her husband and four children. So when she is found dead in her Penzance studio, leaving behind some extraordinary new paintings, there's a painful need for answers. Her Quaker husband appeals for information on the internet. The fragments of a shattered life slowly come to light, and it becomes clear that bohemian Rachel has left her children not only a gift for art - but also her haunting demons.

"Thought-provoking, sensitive, humane. by the end I had laughed and cried and put all his other books on my wishlist" - Daily Telegraph

"Few writers have grasped the twisted dynamics of family the way Gale has. There's really no one he can't inhabit, understand and forgive" - Armistead Maupin
