This was years back, in the blue mists of memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow it's the 1950s and Henri is the last tailor on the street. With meticulous precision he takes the measurements of men and notes them down in his leather-bound ledger. He draws on the cloth with a blue chalk, cuts the pieces and sews them together. When the suit is done, Henri adds a finishing touch: a blue Tekhelet thread hidden in the trousers somewhere, for luck. One day, the renowned French artist Yves Klein walks into the shop, and orders a suit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet in Paris, this atmospheric tale delicately intertwines three connected narratives and timelines, interspersed with observations of the colour blue. It is a meditation on truth and lies, memory and time and thought. It is a leap of the imagination, a leap into the void.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55399418560887,"sku":"9781912054770","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9781912054770.jpg?v=1751632278","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.co.uk\/products\/9781912054770","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
