Summary
‘I am waiting for this visitor so that I can tell my story and die.’ The award-winning novel from Gail Jones.
Victoria Morrell was once a great artist. She led the high life, living and working in Paris, mixing with the artists of the Surrealist movement. Her work was largely forgotten in the fifties and sixties but was rediscovered in the seventies when she became something of a cult figure on the London art scene. She now lives as a recluse in Hampstead, London. And she is dying.
