In 1990s Christchurch, struggling artist Caro is drawn into a film project about her nineteenth-century counterpart, the painter Morag Dart. As Caro recreates Morag’s delicate watercolours for the screen, Dedication moves between the experiences of these two artists, living a century apart. Both are trying to make their mark while negotiating family, money and artistic legitimacy; both must decide what they are prepared to sacrifice for their work. From the best-selling author of At the Grand Glacier Hotel, Dedication is Laurence Fearnley at her rich, sensory best.
