Brushstrokes in Time

by Sylvia Vetta Narrated by Caroline McLaughlin

Overview

Brushstrokes in Time written by Sylvia Vetta is a memoir of fictional Chinese artist, Little Winter, is written for her American daughter. It takes the story of Communist China beyond the death of Mao and for the first time in fiction shows the birth of the radical art movement, The Stars, in 1979. Her haunting love story connects us to this time of hope for freedom of expression in China, and to a man frustrated by `being kept in small shoes'. Superbly researched and beautifully told, this story brings to life recent Chinese history and explains Chinese politics.

‘Weaving real events and Stars artists (including Ai WeiWei) with the fictional, this moving story shines a light on the internal workings of China and gives us an engaging heroine who rises above oppression to discover love, hope and success.’ Frank Sieren, Asia Expert

‘Moving but never mawkish... A deeply informed portrayal of the little-known but important Stars Arts Movement.’ Prof Maria Jaschok, Oxford University
