Ulysses Temper is a young British soldier, Evelyn Skinner is a sexagenarian art historian and possible spy. She has come to Italy to salvage paintings from the wreckage and relive memories of the time she encountered EM Forster and had her heart stolen by an Italian maid in a particular Florentine room with a view.

Moving from the Tuscan Hills and piazzas of Florence, to the smog of London''s East End, Still Life is a sweeping, joyful novel about beauty, love, family and fate.
