Not only has she lost her husband but her muse seems to have deserted her altogether. Her agent summons her to Edinburgh to discuss her next book. What will she tell him? At once the answer comes to her: she will write the biography of Helen Ralston, best known, if at all, as the subject of W.E. Logan's much-reproduced painting \u003ci\u003eCirce\u003c\/i\u003e, and the inspiration for his classic children's book, \u003ci\u003eHermine in Cloud-Land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Ralston was a novelist and artist in her own right, though her writing is no longer in print and her most radical painting, \u003ci\u003eMy Death, \u003c\/i\u003e deemed too unsettling--malevolent even--to be shown in public. Over the months that follow, Ralston proves an astonishingly cooperative subject, even as her biographer uncovers eerie resonances between the older woman's history and her own.
