Gillespie and I

From the Orange Prize-nominated author of

The Observations

comes an absorbing, atmospheric exploration of one young woman’s friendship with a volatile artist and her place in the controversy that consumes him. Jane Harris’s

Gillespie and I

presents a strongly voiced female protagonist evocative of Moll Flanders and Becky Sharp, who offers a keen sensibility, deeply felt observations, and poignant remembrances of the world of a young artist in turn-of-the-century Glasgow in this fantastic work of historical fiction. London’s

Sunday Times

calls

Gillespie and I

“a literary novel where the storytelling is as skilful as the writing is fine.” Fans of

The Piano Teacher

and

The Thirteenth Tale

will find it irresistible and unforgettable.
