Janet Smith, a writer, spends time at Illyria, a luxurious retreat for artists. At first she idealizes her guests, but soon begins to see them differently and makes unsettling discoveries about them and herself, in a story about idealization, authenticity, and creation.

For readers of literary fiction interested in portraits of artistic environments and the complexity of human relationships.
