The Ecliptic by Benjamin Wood

5.0

There is a fine line between genius and madness and this novel explores that territory. It centres around Portmantle - a refuge for artists of all disciplines who need some time apart to gather themselves, to get away from the hustle of modern life and rediscover their muse. We follow the story of Elspeth Conroy, a gifted artist, as she rises and then loses faith in her work and in herself. It's a brilliant multi-layered story and you don't know where it's going to take you until the very end.
