One tells the story of Odile, a young woman from the Caribbean working in a London shoe store in the late 1960s. She makes a living from her job and secretly dreams of writing. Then one day, Odile leaves the shoe store to work as a typist in an art gallery, where she meets Marjorie Quick, a mysterious woman shrouded in secrets. In Quick's luxurious, empty apartment, loneliness, isolation, and secrecy converge. Quick helps publish a short story written by Odile, who then meets Laurie Scott, a young man who inherited a painting from his mother, a painting imbued with mystery and the scent of history…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003eThe other story takes place in Spain in the 1930s, a witness to the horrors of the First Civil War. In 1936, an English family settled in Andalusia consisting of the father, Harold, an Austrian art dealer, his melancholic yet captivating wife, Sarah, and their daughter, Olive, who secretly practiced painting, as her father was an old-fashioned man who did not believe in women's creativity in art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e Upon arriving in Spain, a country blessed with sunny warmth, Olive meets Isaac Robles, a passionate young republican and painter who will immortalize Olive's creative madness with the oil of his passion…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003e History and art, legend and life\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\";text-align:left;direction:ltr\"\u003eWhat is the link between the two stories?

She is simultaneously black and more English than the English themselves, and she knows their Shakespeare as well as she knows the palm of her hand.
