Review:
"Brilliant, fiercely intelligent and moving" (A.S.Byatt)

"A truly persuasive evocation of artistic France in the last war... A brilliant recreation of a lost period" (John Fowles, Books of the Year Guardian)

"A remarkable and very good writer... Everett writes with a rare vividness. He takes a sensuous pleasure in what he sees, and he has a fine ability to translate this into words that have the immediacy of one of Matisse's paintings" (Allan Massie Scotsman)

"An extraordinary feat of historical and artistic imagining" (Anton Nickson Time Out)
From the Back Cover:
'A truly persuasive evocation of artistic France in the last war...A brilliant recreation of a lost period'
-John Fowles, Books of the Year, Guardian

'Matisse's War follows its eponymous anti-hero around France from 1939 to 1945. After the Fall in 1940, Matisse...criss-crossed Vichy and occupied France, regularly bumping into Picasso, Bonnard, Aragon, Elsa Triolet and Camus on his travels...[An] unusual achievement. Matisse's War is an imaginative tour de force and shows that a contemporary novel can be learned, ambitious, adult and accessible, all at the same time'
-Howard Davies, The Times

'A remarkable and very good writer...Everett writes with a rare vividness. He takes a sensuous pleasure in what he sees, and he has a fine ability to translate this into words that have the immediacy of one of Matisse's paintings'
