Keeping the World Away

Margaret Forster
£7.99

With the wonderfully satisfying appeal of Forster's bestselling Diary of an Ordinary Woman and the historical delights of Lady's Maid, this engrossing novel follows the fictional adventures, over a hundred years, of an early twentieth-century painting and the women whose lives it touches.
Quintessential Forster, this is a novel about women's lives, about what it means and what it costs to be both a woman and an artist, and an unusual, compelling look at a beautiful painting (by Gwen John) and its imagined afterlife.
