Forgotten Authors The - Men -...

Clotilde Graves

Throughout the long centuries of human history is the want, and the need, to share information, to exchange ideas and for that knowledge and experience, for curiosity and learning, to be the basis of a civil society. 
In literature the ambition is much narrower.  In order to be known, to be popular, you had to be published.  And for that people had to know you existed and your ideas worth reading.  Obviously for most of humanity’s time people couldn’t read and texts couldn’t be published in any great number. 
In the 15th Century Gutenberg’s printing press began the revolution to address the second and by the 19th century had gathered pace with startling speed and mass distribution.  Education for the many was brought in to help people understand more of their world and, with new skills, how to have a better place within it.  Now, if the powers that owned the presses and means of distribution agreed an audience would now be able to avail themselves of your ideas, your printed words.  
Sadly, in the thirst for the new, the recent and the past fell from sight, relegated to dark corners and dusty shelves.   
But the printed word is rarely without someone, somewhere busying themselves through piles of papers and books rediscovering what a good story is, whatever its age. 
In this volume we offer up a small selection of those talents whose time has now come again.

The Vanishing Point

Andrea Hotere

London, 1991: Alex Johns, trainee art intern at the Courtauld, believes a hidden secret lies within Diego Velázquez’s Las Meninas – one of the most written about paintings of all time.

Her own mother died in mysterious circumstances while trying to uncover its secrets and Alex is troubled by memories of her own encounter as a child with the girl in the painting – the Infanta Margarita – who continues to haunt her. Alex must take up her mother’s work and find evidence to uncover the truths within the canvas.

A treacherous trail through the art world, the church and 17th century Spanish Court via mysterious drawings, letters and cryptic notes has Alex trying to piece together what happened in King Philip’s court...

But powerful players will do anything to stop these truths coming to light.

Madrid, 1656: The Infanta Margarita senses that those around her believe the royal household is cursed.

She wonders why her father, the King, is a pale shadow of himself and why the Queen is distressed; what threatens the royal offspring? She struggles to fight for her own destiny as the forces around her seek to marry her off and send her from the home she loves.

In the tradition of Tracy Chevalier’s Girl With a Pearl Earring and A.S. Byatt’s Possession, Andrea Hotere’s The Vanishing Point slowly reveals the secrets in the painting that have been closely guarded for centuries.

But will Alex live to share them with the art world or is she, too, cursed?
