Above the bed in Adam and Catherine's bedroom is a painting of a female nude: "her face was deliberately blurred, screwed-up in ecstasy. Her intensity leapt out at you like a shout or a punch." What would it be like to sleep under such a picture? Especially when it was painted by your father - your recently dead father. That's what Catherine's sister Vinny wonders. She doesn't wonder who the woman is though.

Set in contemporary London and provincial France, 'The Mistressclass' is a wonderful novel about the repercussions of past impulses: Adam's dead father haunts his son; Vinny haunts her sister; and haunting the whole novel is Charlotte Bronte and her passionate search for creative fulfilment.
