Australian painter Janet Venn-Brown has led an extraordinary life. Moving to Rome in the early 1960s, she joined a circle of intellectuals and artists, began exhibiting her work - and fell in love with Palestinian activist Wael Zuaiter. When Zuaiter was murdered by Mossad in 1972, it changed Venn-Brown's life,bringing Palestinian activism to the forefront of her next four decades. Peter Manning's richly illustrated book celebrates her life and her work - her 40 years in Rome, her artistic successes and experiments, her political engagement and travels in the Middle East, and her return to Australia in 2011.
