When Sara Wiborg and Gerald Murphy decided to get married, they set out to create a beautiful world.
Through the 1920s, their taste, influence, and lavish spontaneity drew the likes of Picasso, Hemingway, and Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald to Villa America, their house near Antibes. There they refashioned high summer for their guests and their three children with flamboyant beach parties, the newest ideas, and dinners beneath the stars.
In Villa America, the Murphys take a young pilot named Owen into their circle. With his arrival, something changes. A life in which everything has been willed, considered, and beautifully planned becomes suddenly volatile, its safeties breached, the stakes incalculably high.
Told with immediacy and infinite tenderness, against a backdrop of war and privation as well as one of splendour, Villa America is a novel with an extraordinary heartbeat. It evokes a marriage with rare nuance and imagination, and confirms the bestselling author of Tigers in Red Weather as a writer of exceptional insight, style, and grace.
Praise for Tigers in Red Weather
'This startling debut novel is heady, page-turning - the intelligent read of the summer'
