Paperback, black and white illustrations, 305 pages, W130mm x H195mm
When newlyweds Malcolm and Alice set up together in their terraced
home, Malcolm’s passion for his young wife inspires his artwork. And
with the arrival of their two children he continues to work out the
patterns of his life through art – shaping love into paintings and
sculptures.
But domestic pressures – and a long-ago accident in a steel
works – take their toll, leaving him isolated. Years of estrangement,
then an unexpected chance of renewal. Can Malcolm’s creative obsessions
now strengthen those fragile links with his son and daughter?
