This was a most compelling story. As a frequent visitor to the Blue Mountains, it was great to read about its magical qualities crafted so beautifully. On top of this, the dynamics amongst this bohemian network of free spirits was the perfect accompaniment to what is also just a great yarn.

The Privacy of Art (English Edition) Kindle版
*** Bronze Medal Winner 2016 Global Ebook Awards ***
This is a story about love. It’s set in the beautiful Blue Mountains area of Australia and revolves around a Bloomsbury-like group of artists, who live there from the Sixties to the present day.
Neil Baxter and Isabella Shaw, share a successful artistic partnership – but to whose cost? Their unorthodox relationship, built upon mutual admiration, strong bohemian values and libertarian principles, has some painful ramifications when their daughter, Persia, marries her father’s ex-lover.
But more than this, Neil and Isabella’s story is the backdrop for the emotional heart of this novella, which is the evolving relationship between Isabella’s son, Hugo and his childhood friend, Meg Taylor.
Told through a series of interwoven narratives, where the past is always bubbling to the surface, The Privacy of Art explores the ideas of artistic and emotional experimentation involving love and desire; truth, deception and collusion; ambition and artistic jealousy.

A heart-felt well-written short story
2015年1月11日にオーストラリアでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
The book starts off in what I thought was back story, but you soon find out that it crosses between the lifetimes of the artists; beginning in 1961 to 2010.
Within the first two pages, you can tell this is quality writing from an author who has lived, and knows her stuff. It moves along at a rapid pace, as short stories should. I’ve always thought the short story should be a fast ride to an exciting location, and this author gives us that ride.
McFarland obviously loves art, and knows what it’s like to be encapsulated in an artistic world. And as stories of art and artists often do, they blend easily into love stories. The first love/sex scene is quite strong. It helps to set up the intense and open/free love between people in this book, and as many artists do, they have an open view of the world.
As the story tells its tale of the lives of the artists, we find that there are “secrets”, like who is one of the artists’ children’s father. As is the case in many households today, the children view things more conservatively than their parents do. This does cause some ripples, but the story quickly moves on.
The book tells us about the lives and transitions of the artists and their children. It is also a love story wrapped up in what happens inside people’s love of art, and how this affects those around them. This story still goes on today. Australia has many artistic communities like the group in this book throughout every state.
This story did remind me of the collusions that took place between the 1930s and the 1950s in the home/arts residence of John and Sunday Reed, which is just outside Melbourne. Their home is now called the Heide Museum of Modern Art. Some of the best art and artists in Australia lived, lodged and loved inside this home.
If you want to feel what life might have been like for the characters in this story, go there and breathe it in.

The Privacy of Art is the most engaging short story ...

The Privacy of Art is the most engaging short story that I have read in a long time. An intricate narrative structure that effectively uses gaps and silences to help convey the story. Realistic and believable characters who make you laugh and cry. Sophisticated and highly developed non-linear narrative. A must read!
