1987 Booker Prize (shortlist)
Major figures in the life of the narrator, a painter who specializes as a copyist, are Clio, his child-bride, Helen, his first wife, and his mother Maisie. They confound lies and the truth in a subtle weave, while the silent agony of the painter's son is a reflection on the busy web of deception.
