Title: Absence Condition: New EAN: 9781739778316 ISBN: 9781739778316 Publisher: Les Fugitives Format: Paperback Release Date: 21/06/2022 Description: A woman addresses letters to an absent loved one while in the apartment opposite hers, a mysterious female figure keeps on appearing under a landscape painter’s brush. Directing her reader and characters with a deftness reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window, Lucie Paye dramatizes the power of unconditional love and the role of the unconscious in artistic creation. From Paris to Naples, Mauritius and London Absence traces a poignant search for redemption and truth, among the lies that destroy lives.; ‘In this remarkable debut, the story of a painter fixated with a ghostly female figure becomes entwined with the story of a woman seeking to connect with a long-lost son. A delicate tale of artistic obsession and creation, and a moving meditation on longing and loss.’ — Ángel Gurría-Quintana, Financial Times Language: French Country/Region of Manufacture: GB Item Height: 198mm Item Length: 129mm Author: Lucie Paye Translator: Natasha Lehrer Contributor: Natasha Lehrer (Translated by) Genre: Fiction Release Year: 2022
