Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The new novel from the winner of the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize spans over 50 years and concerns the lives, loves and dark sexual obsessions of a disparate group of artists. Hall's second novel "The Electric Michelangelo" was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and sold over 75,000 copies.

Publisher's description:

Italy in the early 1960s: a dying painter considers the sacrifices and losses that have made him an enigma, both to strangers and those closest to him. He begins his last life painting, using the same objects he has painted obsessively for his entire career - a small group of bottles.
