The Shadows Lengthen

Lucinda Hart

 

Rushing to complete a last work before the cataracts cloud his eyes, end his career and steal the visions of his lost love, Cornwall’s most loved artist falls outside his studio.

In that brief second everything changes for his family.

The repercussions explode long-buried secrets that stretch back 20 years, and the hidden portraits of his forbidden muse, crafted in oil decades ago, come cascading into the present.

His brushstrokes converge to save a young girl from destruction, bring two lost souls together, but end another life.
