In rural Kent in 1680, the celebrated but now nearly blind painter Nathaniel Deller bargins with his former pupil: if William completes Nathaniel's portrait of his beloved late wife, he may court their daughter. But can William accept what seems an impossible commission? And what demons have prompted it?
Spanning the English Civil War and the Restoration as it uncovers Nathaniel Deller's life layer by layer, Ghost Portrait explores the conflict between conscience and ambition, and questions whether the present life itself - should suffer in the attempt to rescue the past.
'An elegant, convincing historical novel whose setting complements rather than engulfs the human drama.' - Times Literary Supplement.
