The intoxicating summer read from the international bestselling author of TIGERS IN RED WEATHER

Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, Cole and Linda Porter, Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos all are summer guests of Gerald and Sara Murphy. Visionary, misunderstood, and from vastly different backgrounds, the Murphys met and married young, and set forth to create a beautiful world. They alight on Villa America, their coastal oasis of artistic genius, debauched parties, impeccable style and flamboyant imagination. But before long, a stranger enters into their relationship, and their marriage must accommodate an intensity that neither had forseen. When tragedy strikes, their friends reach out to them, but the golden bowl is shattered, and neither Gerald nor Sara will ever be the same.

Nick and her cousin Helena have grown up together, sharing long hot summers at Tiger House. With husbands and children of their own, they keep returning. But against a background of parties, cocktails, moonlight and jazz, how long can perfection last? There is always the summer that changes everything.

Nick i Helena su odrasle zajedno na veličanstvenom starom obiteljskom imanju Tigrova kuća. Na pragu "pravog života" Helenu očekuju Hollywood i brak, dok se Nick treba ponovno naći sa svojim mladim suprugom, Hughesom, koji se vraća iz rata. No u toj idili ubrzo se počinju ukazivati pukotine... Helenin suprug nije onakav kakvim se doimao, a Hughes se iz rata vratio rezerviran i hladan. Nick i Helena – s djecom, Daisy i Edom – pokušavaju iznova steći osjećaj da su pred njima neograničene mogućnosti. Ali kada Daisy i Ed otkriju žrtvu okrutnog ubojstva, sve se počinje raspadati. Članovi obitelji ispadaju iz zacrtanih orbita, na površinu izlaze tajne i nakon toga u njihovu životu više ništa neće biti kao ranije. Senzualan, besprijekorno napisan književni triler…
