In the Full Light of the Sun de Clare Clark

In the Full Light of the Sun

Clare Clark

Three Berliners are caught up in a devastating scandal of 1930s' Berlin: Emmeline, a wayward, young art student; Julius, an anxious, middle-aged art expert; and a mysterious art dealer named Rachmann. A gripping novel based on a true story about Van Gogh's paintings and the rise of Nazi Germany.

'The most enjoyable mystery here is the matter of whether anyone is really their authentic self' The Times

'With great skill and sympathy, Clark evokes a febrile society in which politics, love and art offer no certainties, and the ground always threatens to open beneath her characters' feet' Sunday Times

'Van Gogh's posthumous rise to fame bursts from history like a spurt of the artist's beloved chrome yellow from a tube of paint' New York Times Book Review

'Compellingly narrated and full of potent resonance today' William Boyd

Recenzii

“In Clare Clark’s terrific new novel, In the Full Light of the Sun, the story of van Gogh’s posthumous rise to fame bursts from history like a spurt of the artist’s beloved chrome yellow from a tube of paint.” —New York Times Book Review “In the Full Light of the Sun is clearly the product of smart, painstaking research, yet it reads like lived experience...The result is a novel as intricate as filigree in its structure and as powerful as a storm surge in its headlong sweep...Clark has outdone herself.” —Seattle Times “Clark brilliantly evokes both the decadence of Weimar Berlin and the impending Nazi menace. Her characters’ singular struggles prove riveting...Above all, though, it is the heightened intrigue that keeps us invested.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune “As compelling as it is expansive . . . In an age that has apparently lost faith in experts and verifiable sources of information, Clark’s fictionalization of the Wacker affair stands as a salutary tale for the post-truth era.”—Guardian (UK) “ A gripping and ultimately moving story about art, artifice and authenticity.”—Mail on Sunday (UK) “With great skill and sympathy, Clark evokes a febrile society in which politics, love and art offer no certainties, and the ground always threatens to open beneath her characters’ feet.”—Sunday Times (UK) "Clark's mastery of historic and artistic details merges with skillful plotting and compelling characters in this accomplished novel. A suspenseful, atmospheric portrait of Berlin during Hitler's rise."—Kirkus Reviews "Infused with Clark’s signature attention to historical detail...Evocative prose and excellent pacing make this fine historical a must-read for art history buffs."—Publishers Weekly —
