Still Life

Juggling with our perception of time and reality, Still Life tells the story of an author struggling to write a biography of long-forgotten Scottish poet and abolitionist Thomas Pringle. A multitude of voices across time, place and the lines of fiction and history - From the spectre of Mary Prince to Virginia Woolf''s own Sir Nicholas Green - vie for the reader''s attention. Their adventures through time and space, from Victorian South Africa and London to the author''s desk in Glasgow in the present day, offer a poignant exploration of colonial history and racial oppression.
