After the death of her architect husband, Charles, and the discovery of his affair with another woman, Gaia Ore is about to learn some harsh but rewarding lessons on the nature of erotic and artistic obsession. She joins a contest to design the perfect home with fierce competition coming from four world-class architects who were once her husband's rivals. But will they truly understand what is required of them? Accustomed as they are to large-scale projects, can their designs capture the passion, the drive, the fury, that Gaia has to offer? A love letter to architecture, this dazzling novel flows between Spain, Italy, the US, and the UK. "Joso maintains a fine balance between the intellectual and the emotional in this promising, character-rich work."-Publishers Weekly Sept. 2, 2011 "A humorous and entertaining journey through the world of architecture."-The Midwest Book Review Sept. 2011
