The ghost brush : a novel

Govier, Katherine 1948- (Author).

Summary: In an art gallery in Washington, Rebecca is accosted by a ghost - O-Ei, the daughter of the great Japanese printmaker Hokusai. Long consigned to a minor role as gloomy sidekick, O-Ei wants her rightful place in history. As she recounts her tale, Rebecca is left to discover why and how O-Ei vanished from her own time and from history. Both a feat of scholarship and a breathtaking work of imagination, "The Ghost Brush" shines fresh light on the very contemporary issues of authorship and masterworks, but above all illuminates the love between father and daughter. Print run 10,000.
