Author: Harris, Jane

Condition: Used

From the Orange Prize-nominated author of The Observations comes an absorbing, atmospheric exploration of one young womans friendship with a volatile artist and her place in the controversy that consumes him. Jane Harriss Gillespie and I presents a strongly voiced female protagonist evocative of Moll Flanders and Becky Sharp, who offers a keen sensibility, deeply felt observations, and poignant remembrances of the world of a young artist in turn-of-the-century Glasgow in this fantastic work of historical fiction. Londons Sunday Times calls Gillespie and I a literary novel where the storytelling is as skilful as the writing is fine. Fans of The Piano Teacher and The Thirteenth Tale will find it irresistible and unforgettable.
