Hannah Rothschild
From the bestselling, award-winning author of The Improbability of Love—a novel of love, defiance, and the enduring power of art, unfolding across five centuries in the shadow of Piero della Francesca’s The Resurrection.
Before dawn, a painter climbs his scaffold. His task is impossible: to depict a moment no human eye has witnessed—the Resurrection of Christ. What he creates in 1470 will come to be called the greatest painting in the world.
It will alter the course of many lives.
Mary Hutchinson enters the glittering world of the Bloomsbury Group —married, restless, and unprepared for the freedoms she begins to glimpse among Aldous Huxley, John Maynard Keynes, Virginia Woolf, and their circle.
In the Second World War, Captain Anthony Clarke clings to art as a form of resistance. In addition to the front lines, he faces more dangers: a love that cannot be named, and a choice that will define him.
Clarry Jones arrives in Sansepolcro to restore a damaged fresco, determined to keep to herself and her work. But she finds herself drawn elsewhere: into its history, its mysteries, and the lives it has shaped.
Five centuries. Four people. One painting. Hannah Rothschild’s Masterpiece is a captivatingly kaleidoscopic work, one that bears witness to the decisions that change us—and the radical, lasting power of art to provoke, to save, and to unite.
