Portrait by Patricia Niven

Sarah Winman is the author of four novels When God was a Rabbit, A Year of Marvellous Ways and Tin Man. Her most recent is Still Life, a story that begins in 1944 with the chance meeting on a Tuscan roadside between a young soldier and an ageing art historian. It spans fours decades and moves from the East End of London to Florence.
