Book Description: Historia formada por una trama de pasiones obsesivas y ego stas, Russell Banks describe sin asomo de piedad a sus protagonistas, amorales y narcisistas, representantes de la alta sociedad neoyorquina rica, culta y refinada, capaz de ser c mplice de la abyecci n con tal de conservar y hacer valer sus privilegios. Banks mueve a sus personajes en una amplia geograf a: Estados Unidos, Francfort, el sur de Francia y Espa a, en un per odo que abarca los a os 1936 y 1937, correspondientes a la guerra civil espa ola y al surgimiento del nazismo en Alemania. / Twenty nine year old Vanessa Cole is a wild, stunningly beautiful heiress, the adopted only child of a highly regarded New York brain surgeon and his socialite wife. Twice married, Vanessa has been scandalously linked to any number of rich and famous men. But on the night of July 4, 1936, at her parents' country home in a remote Adirondack Mountain enclave known as The Reserve, two events coincide to permanently alter the course of Vanessa's callow life: her father dies suddenly of a heart attack, and a mysteriously seductive local artist, Jordan Groves, blithely lands his Waco biplane in the pristine waters of the forbidden Upper Lake.
