Permanent Violet

Eilidh Brogan lives in famous seclusion in the South of France. Forty years ago her young artist husband died just as his career was taking off; and it is only now, in the new millennium, that Colin Brogan is being hailed as a great Scottish artist. With the re-discovery of his work comes an inquiry into his life. His widow, from the dark shuttered rooms of her run-down villa, is forced to reflect on their life together and the pain, love and deception they shared. Permanent Violet is the tantalisingly powerful story of the young Brogans' inextricable fates, which, until now, has never been told.
