This is the story of a family blessed, or perhaps cursed, by a mother who is both gifted artist and manic-depressive but who she really is or where she came from is a mystery which begins to unravel after she is found dead in her Cornish studio. This is one of those books which I raced through to discover what happened but when it was finished needed to read and savour all over again.
