Three delightful stories inspired by a painting of Henri Matissefrom the Booker Prize-winning author of Possession and a writer of dazzling inventiveness" (Time)."[An] exquisite triptych. Richly drawn and touches upon things that matter to people." People These stories celebrate the eye even as they reveal its unexpected proximity to the heart. For if each of A.S. Byatt's narratives is in some way inspired by a painting of Henri Matisse, each is also about the intimate connection between seeing and feelingabout the ways in which a glance we meant to be casual may suddenly call forth the deepest reserves of our being. Beautifully written, intensely observed, The Matisse Stories is fiction of spellbinding authority."Full of delight and humor. The Matisse Stories is studded with brilliantly apt images and a fine sense for subtleties of conversation and emotion."
