A dazzling novel set in the French Riviera based on the real-life inspirations for F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender is The Night. When Sara Wiborg and Gerald Murphy met and married, they set forth to create a beautiful world together-one that they couldn't find within the confines of society life in New York City. They packed up their children and moved to the South of France, where they immediately fell in with a group of expats, including Hemingway, Picasso, and Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald. On the coast of Antibes they built Villa America, a fragrant paradise where they invented summer on the Riviera for a group of bohemian artists and writers who became deeply entwined in each other's affairs. There, in their oasis by the sea, the Murphys regaled their guests and their children with flamboyant beach parties, fiery debates over the newest ideas, and dinners beneath the stars. It was, for a while, a charmed life, but these were people who kept secrets, and who beneath the sparkling veneer were heartbreakingly human. When a tragic accident brings Owen, a young American aviator who fought in the Great War, to the south of France, he finds himself drawn into this flamboyant circle, and the Murphys find their world irrevocably, unexpectedly transformed. A handsome, private man, Owen intrigues and unsettles the Murphys, testing the strength of their union and encouraging a hidden side of Gerald to emerge. Suddenly a life in which everything has been considered and exquisitely planned becomes volatile, its safeties breached, the stakes incalculably high. Nothing will remain as it once was. Liza Klaussman expertly evokes the 1920s cultural scene of the so-called "Lost Generation." Ravishing and affecting, and written with infinite tenderness, VILLA AMERICA is at once the poignant story of a marriage and of a golden age that could not last.

Om aan de benauwende New Yorkse high society te ontsnappen, vertrekken Sara en Gerald Murphy begin jaren twintig naar Europa. In Villa America, hun nieuwe huis aan de Franse Rivièra, staan de deuren wijd open voor kunst, literatuur en muziek, en ontvangen ze grootheden als Scott en Zelda Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, Cole en Linda Porter en Ernest Hemingway. Met al hun charisma en joie de vivre vormen Sara en Gerald samen het perfecte paar en inspireren ze hun vrienden tot het creëren van grootse meesterwerken. De komst van een vreemdeling in Villa America legt echter op pijnlijke wijze de haarscheurtjes in hun ogenschijnlijk gelukkige huwelijk bloot en maakt hen kwetsbaar als het noodlot toeslaat. Villa America is een prachtig portret van een huwelijk en de Lost Generation van de jaren twintig. Met haar bezwerende proza en uitmuntend uitgewerkte personages lost Liza Klaussmann alle beloftes in die uit haar debuut Tijgers in rood weer spraken. De pers over Villa America ‘Klaussmann speelt een fraai spel op het grensvlak van feit en fictie. Villa America is een onweerstaanbare roman. En dat danken wij aan Liza Klaussmanns wervelende vertelkunst.’ TZUM.info ‘Villa America biedt de lezer een turbulent verblijf aan de Franse Rivièra tijdens de roaring twenties in gezelschap van Scott Fitzgerald, Cole Porter, Ernest Hemingway Gerald en Sara Murphy. Dit is echt een geweldig boek dat een nieuwe wereld opent!’ Boekhandelaar Gerda Aukes 'Een feest om te lezen. Wat een krachtige, hartstochtelijke schrijfster is deze Liza Klaussmann!’ Baarnsche Courant 'Een meeslepende roman over liefde in al haar vormen, die door de auteur op een beschouwende wijze, maar ook vol compassie worden beschreven. De schrijfster weet de sfeer van de roaring twenties en hett leven van de Murphys uitstekend te treffen. De lezer hoeft niet bekend te zijn met het werk van de schrijvers en kunstenaars om volop van deze prachtige roman te genieten.' NBD Biblion

'Immersive, tense, seductive' – Sunday Times 'Unputdownable' – Sunday Express Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, Cole and Linda Porter, Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos - all are summer guests of Gerald and Sara Murphy.

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.

Bandits seem ubiquitous in Latin American culture. Even contemporary actors of violence are framed by narratives that harken back to old images of the rural bandit, either to legitimize or delegitimize violence, or to intervene in larger conflicts within or between nation-states. However, the bandit seems to escape a straightforward definition, since the same label can apply to the leader of thousands of soldiers (as in the case of Villa) or to the humble highwayman eking out a meager living by waylaying travelers at machete point. Dabove presents the reader not with a definition of the bandit, but with a series of case studies showing how the bandit trope was used in fictional and non-fictional narratives by writers and political leaders, from the Mexican Revolution to the present. By examining cases from Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela, from Pancho Villa's autobiography to Hugo Chavez's appropriation of his "outlaw" grandfather, Dabove reveals how bandits function as a symbol to expose the dilemmas or aspirations of cultural and political practices, including literature as a social practice and as an ethical experience.

'I loved every word' Sarra Manning, Red '[A] blissful book - it's like basking in the warm Med' Rachel Johnson, Mail on Sunday The Riviera Set is the story of the group of people who lived, partied, bed-hopped and politicked at the Château de l'Horizon near Cannes, over the course of forty years from the time when Coco Chanel made southern French tans fashionable in the twenties to the death of the playboy Prince Aly Khan in 1960. At the heart of this was the amazing Maxine Elliott, the daughter of a fisherman from Connecticut, who built the beautiful art deco Château and brought together the likes of Noel Coward, the Aga Khan, the Windsors and two very saucy courtesans, Doris Castlerosse and Daisy Fellowes, who set out to be dangerous distractions to Winston Churchill as he worked on his journalism and biographies during his 'wilderness years' in the thirties. After the War the story continued as the Château changed hands and Prince Aly Khan used it to entertain the Hollywood set, as well as launch his seduction of and eventual marriage to Rita Hayworth. Mary Lovell tells her story of high society behaviour with tremendous brio and relish, and this book has all the charm and fascination of her bestselling The Mitford Girls and The Churchills.
