About
‘A highly original, piercingly beautiful work, full of beautiful shocks... I felt like a door had been kicked open in my brain’ Johanna Thomas-Corr, Observer
A woman searches Buenos Aires for the paintings that are her inspiration and her refuge. Her life — she is a young mother with a complicated family — is sometimes overwhelming. But among the canvases, often little-known works in quiet rooms, she finds clarity and a sense of who she is . . .
'I was reminded of John Berger's Ways of Seeing, enfolded in tender and exuberant personal narratives' Claire-Louise Bennett
'This woman-guide, who goes from Lampedusa to The Doors with crushing elegance, is unforgettable' Mariana Enriquez
'A dazzling combination of memoir, fiction and art book, like nothing you’ve ever read before’ Elle
