The house of whispers [BOOK] / Anna Kent. Pbk. ed. London : HQ, 2021. 329 pages ; 20 cm. "When Eva returns to Abi's life, years after they fell out at university, Abi can't help but be worried. Years ago Eva's friendship was all-consuming and exhausting, but provided her with terrific inspiration for her painting. But those days are over. Now happily married, Abi's creativity may have dried up, but she's coping just fine without Abi her in her life. And yet, as Eva returns to town, Abi paints a series of portraits that are snapped up by an art gallery, but the ferocious pace of work comes with a price. Abi's husband, Rohan, initially puts his wife's erratic behaviour down to artistic genius but, as their domestic life falls apart, he realises that there's actually something deeply unnerving about Eva. Just what influence does this woman have over his wife, and why has she come back now?"--Provided by publisher. 20230505. Women painters Fiction. Creative ability Fiction. Female friendship Fiction.
