Part love story, part murder mystery, set on the cusp of the
Second World War, Russell Banks's newest novel raises dangerous
questions about class, politics, art, love, and madness-and
explores what happens when two powerful personalities begin to
break the rules.
Vanessa Cole is a wild, stunningly beautiful heiress with a
scandalous past. But on July 4, 1936, at her family's country home
in the Adirondack Mountains, two events coincide to permanently
alter the course of Vanessa's life: her father dies suddenly of a
heart attack, and a mysteriously seductive local artist, Jordan
Groves, lands his biplane at the Cole's dock....
Moving from the secluded beauty of the Adirondack wilderness to
the skies above war-torn Spain, "The Reserve" is a clever,
incisive, and passionately romantic novel of suspense that adds a
new dimension to this acclaimed author's extraordinary
repertoire.
