Revue de presse :
“Her language is pure, dazzling in its precision, like the etching of ice on glass.”
Globe and Mail

“A painterly masterwork...poignant in each of its several landscapes and subtle in tracing the mingled nuances of love and pain.”
–Kirkus Reviews

“The detached eye of the narrator never falters, though passion hums beneath the surface like some vast primeval beast beneath the ice.”
The Independent (U.K.)

“Writing with the eye of a painter, Urquhart transforms the energy of the world into enduring literature.”
Kitchener-Waterloo Record

“Urquhart is one of Canada’s most accomplished and interesting writers.”
Edmonton Journal

“Original and dazzling, radiant and quietly perceptive, Urquhart’s new novel delights the senses even as it astonishes the mind....”
London Free Press

“A lyrical novel with a deep, unsentimental connection to ordinary life...[Urquhart’s] language is vivid enough to take your breath away.”
Boston Globe

“Urquhart explores the ability to love and the failure to love; the visual pictures and images of humanity beneath the surfaces on which art is created. The Underpainter is a savory read.”
Flare

“Urquhart’s evocation of time and place shimmers with clarity....”
Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Urquhart has written a novel whose narrative power matches her delicate artistry with words...lodges in the mind and heart forever.”
–Montreal Gazette

San Francisco Chronicle
From the Hardcover edition.
Présentation de l'éditeur :
The Underpainter is a novel of interwoven lives in which the world of art collides with the realm of human emotion. It is the story of Austin Fraser, an American painter now in his later years, who is haunted by memories of those whose lives most deeply touched his own, including a young Canadian soldier and china painter and the beautiful model who becomes Austin’s mistress. Spanning decades, the setting moves from upstate New York to the northern shores of two Great Lakes; from France in World War One to New York City in the ’20s and ’30s. Brilliantly depicting landscape and the geography of the imagination, The Underpainter is Jane Urquhart’s most accomplished novel to date.
