When his sudden stroke makes headlines, her world implodes; the idea of losing him is terrifying. Desperate to find a way to be present during her lover's final days, Valeria commissions his artist wife, Isla, to paint her portrait, insinuating herself into Martin's family home and life. In the grand, chaotic London mansion where the man they share, husband, father, lover, lies in a coma, Valeria and Isla remain poised on the brink, transfixed by one another. Day after day, the two women talk to each other during the sittings, revealing truths, fragilities, and strengths. But does Isla know of the writer's long involvement with Martin does Valeria grasp the secrets that Isla harbors? Amidst their private turmoil, the stories of their lives are exchanged, and as the portrait takes shape, we watch these complex and extraordinary women struggle while the love of their lives departs, in an unforgettable, breathless tale of deception and mystery that captivates until the very end. 650 0 $a Women authors $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Coma $x Patients $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Portraits $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Adultery $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 650 0 $a Domestic fiction. 650 0 $a Psychological fiction. 700 1 $a Eyre, Justine, $e narrator. 941 $a 0 945 $a cdab 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=189BE84CC8E811EB9BB532342BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
