Shadow Is a Colour (as Light Is)

Over a century after Cézanne’s death his art still obsesses and enraptures.
Praise for Shadow is a Colour as Light is:
'A dazzling journey through grief, love, passion and dependency, with human frailty at its centre... I adored it!' - Celia Anderson, author of 59 Memory Lane
'Running through is a clear passion for art and an insightful understanding of the human heart, and what it desires. ‘Shadow is a Colour as Light is’ is a truly beautiful read and, as with the best of books, I felt grateful to have spent time in its richly realised world.' - Kerry Hudson, The Big Issue
'Its exploration of how art moves us - how it speaks to our fears, our failings, our fantasies - is one that everyone should read' - Joe Heap, author of The Rules of Seeing
'As detailed and beautiful as a Cézanne painting, this is a rich and complex story of family, love and grief' - Annie Lyons, author of The Happiness List
'I cannot recommend this exquisite book highly enough...Michael’s writing is every bit as beautiful and moving as the Cezanne paintings that inspired his story. His book is a skilful and moving exploration of how art touches people’s lives. An absolute treasure!' - Ruth Hogan, author of The Keeper of Lost Things
