About this audiobook
My Still Life: One Clean Cut
Three days after the funeral, a painter's life fits into two cardboard boxes and a coat, and nobody has come forward to claim him.
So it goes to the two who were there. A fisherman, and a woman who knelt on the same pavement over the same dying stranger. The town has already married them off, over the scales, before either of them has decided anything.
Over three years on a small stretch of northern coast, they build something good out of a bad morning — an allotment, a bench above the fish sands, a painting of two figures by a fire that she hangs where everyone can see it. And slowly the man in the boxes turns out to be less of a stranger than either of them knew.
Book two of the My Still Life trilogy. About the stories that save us, the towns that never forget, and what happens when the kindest advice a man ever gave turns out to have been the cut.
