Along the glittering coast of southern France, a white villa sits atop an earthen terrace–a site of artistic genius, now subject to bitter dispute. Eileen, a new architect known for her elegant chair designs, poured the concrete herself; she built it as a haven for her and her lover, and called it E-1027. When the hulking Le G, a founder of modernist architecture, laid eyes on the house in 1929, he could see his influence in the sleek lines–and he would not be outdone. Impassioned, he took a paintbrush to the clean, white walls. . . .
Thirty years later, Eileen has not returned to Villa E and Le G has never left–his summers spent aging in a cabin just feet away. Mining the psyches of two brilliant, complex artists and the extrordinary place that bound them, Jane Alison boldly reimagines a now-legendary act of vandalism into a lushly poetic and mesmerizing novel of power, predation, and obsession.
