LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN''S PRIZE FOR FICTION

With an introduction by Megan Nolan, bestselling author of Acts of Desperation and Ordinary Human Feelings

''Siri Hustvedt''s most ambitious, most rewarding novel. It mesmerises, arouses, disturbs''
Salman Rushdie

''Defiantly complex and frequently dazzling''
Sunday Times

''A big, wide, sensuous novel - clever, sinister, yet attractively real''
Guardian

In 1975 art historian Leo Hertzberg discovers an extraordinary painting by an unknown artist in a New York gallery. He buys the work, tracks down its creator, Bill Wechsler, and the two men embark on a life-long friendship.

This is the story of their intense and troubled relationship, of the women in their lives and their work, of art and hysteria, love and seduction and their sons - born the same year but whose lives take very different paths.

PRAISE FOR SIRI HUSTVEDT:

''One of our finest novelists''
Oliver Sacks

''Reading a Hustvedt novel is like consuming the best of David Lynch''
Financial Times

''Few contemporary writers are as satisfying and stimulating to read as Siri Hustvedt''
Washington Post

Industry Reviews

Breathtaking - James Urquhart, Independent

A love story with the grip and suspense of a thriller. It makes you ponder human existence with a peculiar mixture of stoicism and wonder. - Noonie Minogue, Times Literary Supplement

Defiantly complex and frequently dazzling ... she has created a conceptually exciting work that demands we think, but which still allows us room to feel. - Alex Clark, Sunday Times

Substantial, moving and beautifully written - Christian House, Independent on Sunday

A big, wide, sensuous novel - clever, sinister, yet attractively real - Julie Myerson, Guardian

A consummately intelligent novel, highly literate but also intensely moving. - Jackie McGlone, Scotsman

Riveting ... erudite and immensely detailed ... a rich, densely textured and utterly absorbing novel - Lesley Glaister

Subtle, compassionate, wise, and supremely intelligent, it's a striking achievement. - Kieron Corless, Time Out
