On the Venice Biennale, an aspiring assistant curator from the Midwest complies with Bernard Augustin, the wealthy, enigmatic founder of the Nauk, a cutting-edge fine art museum on Cape Cod. It's been two years because the tragic loss of life of the Nauk's main curator, Augustin's youth good friend and muse, Alena. When Augustin supplies the position to our heroine (who, like du Maurier's original, remains nameless) she dives at the chance - and quickly confirms herself well out of her depth. The Nauk echoes with phantoms of the past - a former obsessively preserved by the museum's business supervisor and all of those other personnel. Their devotion to the recollection of the charismatic Alena threatens to stifle the new curator's work to realize her own creative eyesight, and her every move mires her deeper in imaginative, erotic, and mental entanglements. When new facts calling into question the circumstances of Alena's loss of life, her devotion, integrity, and courage are placed to the test, and shattering secrets surface. Stirring and provocative, Alena is the consequence of a scrumptious visitation of one of the very most popular books of the twentieth hundred years on an excellent and inventive novelist of the twenty-first.
