In the 1600s Sara de Vos loses her young daughter suddenly to
illness. In her grief, she secretly begins painting a dark
landscape of a girl watching a group of ice skaters from the edge
of a wood. In 1950s New York, Martijn de Groot has At the Edge of a
Wood hanging above his bed. Though it is a dark, peculiar painting,
he holds it dear and when it is stolen, he is bereft. In Brooklyn,
struggling art student Ellie Shipley accepts a commission to paint
an intricate forgery of the painting, not realising that her
decision will come to haunt her successful academic career.
Gorgeously written, brilliantly conceived and executed, filled with
tension and revelation, The Last Painting of Sara de Vos is one of
those rare books that stops time as you read it. This is a novel
you will want to revisit for the sheer pleasure of watching a
master at work.
