‘Sheer joy' Graham Norton

‘Utterly beautiful … filled with hope’ Joanna Cannon, author of Three Things About Elsie

’A gorgeous, generous story of kind hearts and kindred spirits’ Daily Mirror

From the author of When God was a Rabbit and Tin Man, Still Life is a big-hearted story of the families we forge and the friendships that make us.

1944, Italy. As bombs fall around them, two strangers meet in the ruined wine cellar of a Tuscan villa and share an extraordinary evening.

Ulysses Temper is a young British soldier, Evelyn Skinner a 64-year-old art historian living life on her own terms. She has come to salvage paintings from the wreckage of war and relive memories of her youth when her heart was stolen by an Italian maid in a particular room with a view. Ulysses’ chance encounter with Evelyn will transform his life – and all those who love him back home in London – forever.

Uplifting, sweeping and full of unforgettable characters, Still Life is a novel about beauty, love, family and friendship.

I adored this book! It’s a beautifully written story about interesting and complex people who share deep, heartwarming relationships. At times I laughed out loud and towards the end I cried real tears. It evoked a range of emotions through a simple story of people who love and support each other through-out the course of their lifetimes. Sarah Winman narrates her own book brilliantly and makes you fall in love with each of her characters one by one. The relationships between an old man and a tree, a grieving soldier and his dead comrade, a group of Eastenders and an Italian village, all come together under the Florentine skyline and an African parrot’s wingspan. It is both magical and relatable and inspired me to book a trip back to Italy.

Heartwarming and inspiring

Story-telling at its best. I loved it. Some may find it very slow-going, but the narrator really brought the characters to life.

Beautifully Narrated

A beautiful sprawling history of a few lives well lived. The characters are wonderful and immensely likeable even when they maybe shouldn't be. Florence and a slightly less romantic corner of London provide the backdrop to show just how magical and full of possibilities life can be.

Missing it already

I haven’t enjoyed or been so completely immersed in a book for some years. My first introduction to this author. Loves the story. Atmospheric without being obvious; funny and real; honest. The characters were so vivid and alive I feel bereft now it’s finished. I’d love to go to dinner with them all and find out how they are now. Can’t recommend strongly enough

The best book ….

Beautiful, inspiring and sweet story, just not eventful enough for my more shallow wants. But still beautiful.

Beautiful

I loved every moment of this wonderful book. It may be one of the top 5 books I have read.

The characterisation is superb, she transports you into their world. Wraps you in it like a warm familiar hug.

The narration is absolute perfection. Her voices are just right and very consistent throughout. I love how she narrates Cressy and Alys.

Did I mention I lived this book? I can’t wait to read her others. In the meantime I’ve recommended it to my mother and my daughter and I’m jealous they get to discover it for the first time.

Poetic and beautiful

A wonderfully fulfilling tale. Humour, art, emotion, intrigue,pathos and an E M Forster finale. What more can you ask of a book. I loved it.
