Adamson, editor of the New Internationalist, who splits his time between Oxford and Tuscany, has used his love of Italy and art to good effect in this novel about a fictional young artist, Tullio d'Attore.
He cannot make a living from painting, so his friends and art critics plan to revive his work. Then a strange young fellow tenant in his 17th-century palazzo apartment block begins a painting of Tullio's wife Claudia.
