Gillespie and I Book

As she sits in her Bloomsbury home with her two birds for company elderly Harriet Baxter sets out to relate the story of her acquaintance nearly four decades previously with Ned Gillespie a talented artist who never achieved the fame she maintains he deserved. Back in 1888 the young art-loving Harriet arrives in Glasgow at the time of the International Exhibition. After a chance encounter she befriends the Gillespie family and soon becomes a fixture in all of their lives. But when tragedy strikes - leading to a notorious criminal trial - the promise and certainties of this world all too rapidly disorientate into mystery and deception. Featuring a memorable cast of characters infused with atmosphere and period detail and shot through with wicked humour Gillespie and I is a tour de force from one of the emerging names of British fiction.Read More

    Following her acclaimed debut novel The Observations, Jane Harris continues to forge a reputation as one of the most promising talents in British fiction with Gillespie and I, a period tale of an elderly woman and her acquaintance with a talented and under-appreciated artist, Ned Gillespie. What begins as a kindly old woman?s tale soon becomes more mysterious and disorientating as Harriet Baxter?s account of her time with Gillespie and his family becomes increasingly untrustworthy. Packed with fascinating period detail, wicked humour and infused with an atmospheric plot, this hardback edition is a perfect gift for any fiction fan.
