Toscana, 1944. Mientras las tropas Aliadas avanzan y las bombas caen alrededor de pueblos abandonados, Ulysses Temper, un joven soldado inglés, llega a la bodega de una villa abandonada. Allí coincide con Evelyn Skinner, una historiadora de arte que ha viajado hasta Italia para salvar obras de arte de las ruinas y rememorar antiguos recuerdos de su propia juventud. Ulysses y Evelyn encuentran en el otro un espíritu similar en medio de los escombros de una Italia desolada por la guerra y se embarcan en un viaje que cambiará la vida de Ulysses durante las siguientes cuatro décadas. Cuando Ulysses vuelve a su casa en Londres, sumergiéndose de nuevo en su grupo en The Stoat and Parrot (un variopinto grupo de asiduos a pubs y excéntricos), lleva a sus espaldas las vivencias de su tiempo en Italia. Y cuando una herencia inesperada lo devuelve a donde todo empezó, Ulysses sabe que no debe tentar al destino y vuelve a las colinas toscanas. Con una prosa hermosa, una ternura extraordinaria y ráfagas de humor y luz, Naturaleza muerta es el retrato de unos personajes inolvidables que se unen para formar una familia y una celebración espléndidamente dibujada sobre la belleza y el amor en todas sus formas.
Tuscany, 1944: As Allied troops advance and bombs fall around deserted villages, a young English soldier, Ulysses Temper, finds himself in the wine cellar of a deserted villa. There, he has a chance encounter with Evelyn Skinner, a middle-aged art historian who has come to Italy to salvage paintings from the ruins and recall long-forgotten memories of her own youth. In each other, Ulysses and Evelyn find a kindred spirit amidst the rubble of war-torn Italy, and set off on a course of events that will shape Ulysses' life for the next four decades. As Ulysses returns home to London, re-immersing himself in his crew at The Stoat and Parot—a motley mix of pub crawlers and eccentrics—he carries his time in Italy with him. And when an unexpected inheritance brings him back to where it all began, Ulysses knows better than to tempt fate, and returns to the Tuscan hills. With beautiful prose, extraordinary tenderness, and bursts of humor and light, Still Life is a sweeping portrait of unforgettable individuals who come together to make a family, and a deeply drawn celebration of beauty and love in all its forms.
