"A deft account of their varying shades of character and fortune. Roe's quietly successful book tells of ultimate triumph, but shows its human cost" -- Jane Stevenson Daily Telegraph "Roe is good at bounding from one eye-catching anecdote to another" -- Martin Grayford Sunday Telegraph "The great strength of Roe's book is the way that it manages to synthesise the wealth of published biographical and scholarly work on half a dozen artists into a coherent narrative of kith and kinship" -- Kathryn Hughes Guardian "Her book is widely researched but has a neat, light touch" Independent on Sunday
