Beschreibungen

Anna, an art curator, leaves a psychiatric hospital and finds herself in an English village, sharing a rented cottage with her partner. Seeking refuge from the aftermath of past infidelities, she constructs a personal reality from the brushstrokes and histories of her favourite artworks.
<br>
<br>A chance discovery in the cottage's attic leads Anna on a journey back to the late nineteenth century and the complicated relationships of two women studying at Oxford University.
<br>
<br>As Anna's investigations blend with the students' story, and the threads of her life intertwine with those of a century earlier, she finds a way to run ever farther from her pain. But the past is not all it seems, and Anna's escape routes are taken from her, one by one, until she must face the truth of her present.

Sarah K. Marr started writing fiction at school, but got distracted. After studying law, anthropology and theoretical physics at the Universities of Oxford, Manchester and London, respectively, she finally returned to her first love and wrote "All the Perverse Angels". She lives in London, where she spends too much time in art galleries and buys too many second-hand books.

<li>Up-market literary fiction that pulls you in with a powerful mystery and holds on with strong atmosphere and mental acuity.</li>
<li>A rich and lyrical novel that takes you on a journey filled with insight and revelation.</li>
<li>If A. S. Byatt’s <i>Possession</i> were set in the art world; for fans of Kate Atkinson, Salley Vickers.</li>

<br>'An utterly captivating exploration of the complications of art and love' Catherine Hall, author of
<i>The Proof of Love</i>
