Art & Lies

In a near-future London, Sappho, Picasso and Handel each set upon the same plan – to flee the city by train. Finding themselves fellow passengers, the poet, the painter and the musician discover their fates drawn together by the curious agency of a book.
As stories within stories unfold and journeys intersect, another world comes to the fore – one of painful beauty, where language has the power to heal.
