Cut Out — Michele Roberts

'Impressive.' --The Sunday Times 'Brimming with delights, as full of life and colour as Matisse's cut outs.' -Susie Boyt Denis knows his mother kept things from him. His godmother, Clemence, knows the truth. In rich, sensuous prose, Roberts interweaves Denis's search for answers with Clemence's memories of the time she spent working for Matisse. 'Lyrical, atmospheric, wonderful.' -Viv Groskop
