Reader reviews for How to Paint a Dead Man

From the publisher

"Hall's writing manages to combine acute sensitivity and daring. ... Visceral and engaging. ... The emotional lives of her characters are skillfully realized in this bright weave of disparate voices-for whom art is at once a way of seeing and a way of life." --The Times (London)

The lives of four individuals--a dying painter, a blind girl, a landscape artist, and an art curator--intertwine across nearly five decades in this luminous and searching novel of extraordinary power. With How to Paint a Dead Man, Sarah Hall, "one of the most significant and exciting of Britain's young novelists" (The Guardian), delivers "a maddeningly enticing read...an amazing feat of literary engineering" (The Independent on Sunday).
