She led the high life - living and working in Paris, mixing with the artists of the Surrealist movement. Her work was largely forgotten in the fifties and sixties, but was rediscovered in the seventies when she became something of a cult figure on the London art scene. She now lives as a recluse in Hampstead, London. And she is dying. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnna Griffin is the young woman commissioned to write a biography of Victoria's life. In many ways their lives strangely intersect, since they grew up in the same mining town and share preoccupations with underground spaces, deserts and the many forms of grief.  In a compelling double narrative, Gail Jones tracks Victoria's past as it intertwines with Anna's life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stories Victoria tells enable both women to enter into new forms of sympathy and understanding. Elegant, enthralling, and emotionally charged, \u003ci\u003eBlack Mirror\u003c\/i\u003e is both a novel of love and family mystery, and a meditation on the nature of artistic vision and obsession.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48312783831198,"sku":"UBD-9781741668544","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781741668544.jpg?v=1790069674","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781741668544","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
