Product Description
Helena McEwen is an artist who brings a painter's eye to her fiction. Her first novel, the heartbreaking and beautiful The Big House dealt with family tragedy; Ghost Girl, which followed in 2004, was the story of an unhappy convent schoolgirl who is liberated by her elder art-student sister; and her latest, Invisible River, while not a sequel to it, has a heroine who is herself sometimes a bit of a ghost girl and is just starting at Chelsea School of Art.
Eve and her writer father have lived alone together in Cornwall since her mother drowned, which may or may not have been accidental, when Eve was a small child. He is Prospero to her Miranda, looking after her and telling her marvellous stories until, defeated by loneliness, he seeks solace in drink, and she yearns for a brave new world of independence. His art will come to nothing. He will never finish the book he has been struggling with for years. The narrative begins as Eve, sick at heart, knowing he won't cope, leaves for London...
