- Summary:
- "The writing is John Murrell at the top of his form, which is very high indeed. Tremendous stuff!" -- CBC Radio
- Georgia O'Keeffe flourished in the desert solitude where her creativity thrived and was challenged by its dangerous energies, its desolate and hard beauty. In John Murrell's The Faraway Nearby, Georgia O'Keeffe resigns herself to an old age spent alone in the auburn and tawny light of her beloved Faraway mountains, until a stranger enters her life. Juan Hamilton, a young artist and handyman, becomes the eyes for the almost-blind O'Keeffe and the cushion between her and the outside world. It is this relationship and the complexities of their friendship that Murrell (author of Waiting for the Parade and Democracy) explores in this elegant and moving portrayal.
