Summary:
"Greenwich Village, 1959.
Claire
Bishop
sits for a portrait--a gift from her husband-only to discover that what the artist has actually depicted is
Claire
's
suicide
. Haunted by the painting,
Claire
is forced to redefine herself within a failing marriage and a family history of madness. Shifting ahead to 2004, we meet West, a young man with schizophrenia obsessed with a painting he encounters in a gallery: a mysterious image of a woman's
suicide
. Convinced it was painted by his ex-girlfriend, West constructs an elaborate delusion involving time-travel, Hasidism, art-theft, and the terrifying power of representation. When the two characters finally meet, in the present, delusions are shattered and lives are forever changed."--From publisher.
