When prize-winning author Rachel Cusk decides to travel to Italy
for a summer with her husband and two young children she has no
idea of the trials and wonders that lie in store. Their journey
leads them to both the expected - the Piero della Francesca trail
and queues at the Vatican - and the surprising - an amorous
Scottish ex-pat and a longing for home - all seen through Cusk's
sharp and humane perspective.
Exploring the desire to travel and to escape, art and its
inspirations, beauty and ugliness, and the challenge of balancing
domestic life with creativity, The Last Supper is a
wonderful travel book about life on the most famous art trail in
the world.
