«What's Bred in the Bone» is the novel by Robertson Davies, published by Penguin in paperback (448 pages, in English).
Francis Cornish, art expert and collector of international renown, hides far more than he appears to.

Robertson Davies spins a tale of artistic triumph and heroic deception, with elegant prose and irony.
Second novel of the Cornish Trilogy. Nominated for the Booker Prize and winner of the Canadian Authors Association Award in the fiction category.
Recommended for readers of literary fiction and Canadian narrative interested in enigmatic characters, art, and mystery.
