Originally, Norwood was a venue for days out at tea gardens & it was the site of Beulah Spa. By 1854, the re-erected Crystal Palace of Joseph Paxton towered over the Norwood area, making it fashionable, & large houses adorned the attractive upper slopes, whose residents were in their turn served by those who lived in the smaller houses further down. Yet by the 1930s Norwood was a place of unlet houses, its heyday gone. Norwood now provides a welcome respite for commuting Londoners. ...

The small Tuscan town of Castelluccio is preparing for its annual festival, a spectacular pageant in which a leading role will be taken by the self-exiled English painter Gideon Westfall. A man proudly out of step with modernity, Westfall is regarded by some as a maestro, but in Castelluccio
- as in the wider art world
- he has his enemies, & his niece
- just arrived from England
- is no great admirer either. & a local girl is missing, a disappearance that seems to implicate the artist. But the life & art of Gideon Westfall form just one strand of Nostalgia, a novel that teems with incidents & characters, from religious visionaries to folk heroes. Constantly shifting between the panoramic & the intimate, between the past & the present, Nostalgia is a fiction into which are woven the kaleidoscopic narratives of art, architecture, history, legend & much more.
