Beschreibung
1999: An island off the southern coast of Greece. Art historian Elizabeth Clarke arrives with the intent to acquire a rare female sculpture. But what begins as a quest for a highly valued cultural artifact evolves into a trip that will force Elizabeth to contend with her career, her ambition, and her troubling history. Disoriented by jet lag, debilitating migraines, and a dependence on prescription pills, Elizabeth turns to her charming and guileless translator to guide her around the labyrinthine island. Soon, the island''s lushness - its heat and light, its textures and tastes - take hold of Elizabeth. And when she''s introduced to her translator''s inscrutable wife - a subversive artist whose work seeks to deconstruct the female form - she becomes unexpectedly enthralled by her. But once the nude''s acquisition proves to be riskier than Elizabeth could have ever imagined, the fates of Elizabeth and the statue are called into question. To find a way out, Elizabeth must grapple with her past, the role she''s played in the global art trade, and the ethical fallouts her decisions could leave behind.
