The lives of four individuals—a dying painter, a blind girl, a landscape artist, and an art curator—intertwine across nearly five decades in this luminous and searching novel of extraordinary power. With How to Paint a Dead Man, Sarah Hall, called one of the most significant and exciting young British novelists by The Guardian, delivers an incredibly enticing read. The stories initially seem unrelated until the connections between them slowly come into being. The effect makes readers wonder about the many moments of insight people usually miss in their lives.
