Description
From Man Booker Prize-winning author John Banville comes a novel that delves into the complexities of artistic creation, betrayal, and the intricate ways we connect with others. The story follows Oliver Orme, an artist whose life unravels after a passionate affair with his best friend's wife. As Oliver grapples with the consequences of his actions and his own compulsive tendencies, he embarks on a journey of self-excavation, confronting memories of family, home, and his perception of the world. This is a richly immersive narrative, characteristic of Banville's signature literary style, exploring themes of art, desire, and the search for redemption.
