As hard as I tried, I just could not get into "Villa E" by Jane Alison. As some of the other reviews had mentioned, it was quite choppy and hard to follow. The premise is good as it follows the lives of Irish designer, Eileen Gray and famed Swiss architect, Le Corbusier. The setting takes place at Villa E in the south of France. Others may like Jane Alison's style of writing and find this to be a worthwhile novel. ( )
