Product Description
A dazzling novel set in the French Riviera based on the real-life inspirations for Tender is The Night.
When Sara Wiborg and Gerald Murphy married, they set forth to create a beautiful world-one they couldn't find within the confines of society life in New York City. They packed up their children and moved to Antibes, a fragrant paradise where they invented summer on the Riviera for a group of artists and writers who became deeply entwined in each other's affairs. It was, for a while, a charmed life, until a tragic accident brings Owen, an American aviator, to the south of France and into this flamboyant circle. His unsettling presence encourages a hidden side of Gerald to emerge, and the Murphys find their world irrevocably transformed. Ravishing and affecting, Villa America is at once the poignant story of a marriage and of a golden age that could not last.
