Publisher's Synopsis
"The bitter cup is a novelistic response to the archive of paintings and sketch books left behind by Lil Neilson upon her death in 1998, and the encounter experienced by Joanne Tatham and Tom O'Sullivan of this work, the landscape and their formative art experiences. Neilson's work is framed in a fiction, which locates itself in the historical moment that the landscape of Scottish art was radically transformed - through a process that was dubbed 'the Glasgow Miracle'."--Bookworks
