Assessment Based On Books The Restorer

I really don't know what I was expecting from this book as I bought it on a whim, but I can say now having finished it that I am glad that I did. It was a lovely piece of escapism, cleverly woven between the past and the present and I enjoyed it immensely.

1st Prize Winner of the 2012 Rubery Book AwardA beautifully presented book in hardback and consistently well set out. The story was measured, detailed and well paced. Murphy has a fluid style and knows her subject. She is clearly familiar with the region of Florence from both a historical and geographical perspective and also has a deep and intimate knowledge of the business of restoring wall paintings. She makes good and imaginative use of both past and present tenses and switches effectively

The Restorer alternates back and forth between the end of the 15th Century and the turn of the modern millennium. Yes, this template has been used elsewhere, but the extra level offered here is what links the two epochs. I don't want to spoil the plot, but safe to say this book is also a romance across time, and not some trashy wishful thinking. What is explored is the notion, following the view of modern physics, that we can influence our material universe through psychic means, consciously or

Fantastic debut from pro art restorer, weaving in-depth knowledge of her profession with colourful storytelling and a magical time-traveller's lens on Renaissance Florence. The central character, Elfa, is complex and covert, but cannot resist the lure of a passionate, long-dead painter whose work she uncovers, only to find their lives are inextricably entwined.A must-read for historical fiction fans. Beautiful first editions in hardback.

She runs her own conservation practice, National Heritage Conservation and for the past twenty-five years has undertaken

Lovely crossing between timelines, the author really paints a beautiful world that you'll want to be submerged in. The story itself is romantic but chilly, and quite delicious. A hypnotic read and well worth investing time in. I now know a lot more about fresco painting! Plus - added bonus the hardback is gorgeous.
