Description
Roger Trevail, successful author of a Cornish family saga, find writing increasingly difficult. His success and moderate affluence has allowed him to indulge his one great passion – collecting Newlyn School paintings.
The less he writes, the more fascinated he becomes with the art market, by price and profit and the rising value of works by such artists as Stanhope Forbes, Harold Harvey and Laura Knight.
When his wife discovers in the course of her work in the community a collection of ‘lost’ paintings, his obsession comes into conflict with her firm sense of right and wrong.
Which matters more to him, the paintings or his marriage?
