Corre el a o de 1937 y Hitler ha comenzado a circular una lista de los artistas degenerados m s buscados: pintores, escritores y pensadores cuyo trabajo se opone al nuevo r gimen. Para prevenir la destrucci n de sus obras y artistas favoritos, la impetuosa heredera y coleccionista de arte estadounidense, Leonora Calaway, organiza un viaje con un selecto grupo de surrealistas a Costalegre, una misteriosa residencia ubicada en la selva mexicana. Lara, la hija adolescente de Leonora, quien ha conocido desde muy joven los exc ntricos caprichos de su madre, sus tortuosos amores y al s quito de cazafortunas que suelen rodearla, narra los d as que transcurren ah . Ella es una chica que no ha recibido la educaci n que le gustar a, no sabe d nde est su hogar y su inestabilidad emocional la traiciona todo el tiempo. Definitivamente una temporada en M xico rodeada de surrealistas no ser lo que la ayude a resolver su vida. Cuando conoce a Jack, Lara encuentra en el escultor el entendimiento y el amor que anhela con todas sus fuerzas. Sensual y sorprendente, dolorosa y fuera de lo com n, una novela inspirada en la vida de Peggy Guggenheim y su hija Pegeen. Courtney Maum ha escrito una conmovedora historia acerca de una joven privilegiada que tiene todo lo que una chica de su edad desear a, salvo el amor de una madre. Sensual y sorprendente, dolorosa y fuera de lo com n, una novela inspirada en la vida de Peggy Guggenheim y su hija Pegeen. It is 1937, and Europe is on the brink of war. Hitler is circulating a most-wanted list of "cultural degenerates"―artists, writers, and thinkers whose work is deemed antithetical to the new regime. To prevent the destruction of her favorite art (and artists), the impetuous American heiress and modern art collector Leonora Calaway begins chartering boats and planes for an elite group of surrealists to Costalegre, a mysterious resort in the Mexican jungle. The story of what happens to these artists when they reach their destination is told from the point of view of Lara, Leonora's neglected fifteen-year-old daughter. Forced from a young age to live with her mother's eccentric whims, tortured lovers, and entourage of gold-diggers, Lara suffers from emotional, educational, and geographical instability that a Mexican sojourn with surrealists isn't going to help. But when she meets the outcast Dadaist sculptor Jack Klinger, Lara thinks she might have found the understanding she so badly craves. Heartbreaking and strange, Costalegre is inspired by the real-life relationship between the heiress Peggy Guggenheim and her daughter, Pegeen. Courtney Maum triumphs with this wildly imaginative and curiously touching story of a privileged teenager who has everything a girl could wish for―except a mother who loves her back.
