An unknown gem,
By
This review is from: Illyrian spring,: By Ann Bridge [pseud.]
This is a book that surprised me from start to finish. A forty-year-old woman who has achieved some success as a painter runs away from her family (her husband and teenage daughter especially are very "clever" and kind of look down on her and don't appreciate her talent) on a working vacation in southeastern Europe. On the way, a young man whose father insists that he study architecture, but who wants to be an artist instead, begins to tag along with her and she ends up tutoring him in the art of painting.
What could have been, in another author's hands, a romance novel, is really nothing of the sort in the hands of this author. Though there are perhaps some minor romantic elements to the book, the author has a much more serious and worthwhile purpose. This a novel of self-discovery. It's about how a person's perception of herself shapes her actions. A wonderful, undiscovered gem of a book from a very unjustly neglected author.
