【戰爭、藝術、愛情，與小說家亡靈】 英國新設文學獎得獎小說。 1944年，空襲之夜，年輕英國士兵和年過六十的藝術史學者在托斯卡納別墅酒窖相遇。後者到此搶救畫作與追悼E. M.佛斯特的鬼魂。 From the author of When God was a Rabbit and Tin Man, Still Life is a big-hearted story of the families we forge and the friendships that make us. 1944, Italy. As bombs fall around them, two strangers meet in the ruined wine cellar of a Tuscan villa and share an extraordinary evening. Ulysses Temper is a young British soldier, Evelyn Skinner a 64-year-old art historian living life on her own terms. She has come to salvage paintings from the wreckage of war and relive memories of her youth when her heart was stolen by an Italian maid in a particular room with a view. Ulysses’ chance encounter with Evelyn will transform his life – and all those who love him back home in London – forever.
