Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. One of Britain's most talented and experienced writers. The closer you look the more mystery you see. --The Times (London) A seductive and hugely suspenseful novel by Booker Prize winning author Penelope Lively, about what can happen when you look too closely into the past Searching through a little-used cupboard at home, Glyn Peters chances upon a photograph he has never seen before. Taken in high summer, many years earlier, it shows his wife, Kath, holding hands with another man. Glyn's work as a historian should have prepared him for unexpected findings and reversals, but he is ill-prepared for this radical shift in perception. His mind fills with questions. Who was the man?

Propelled by the author's signature mastery of narrative and psychology, The Photograph is Lively at her very best.…
