  Loving Le Corbusier is a tale of love and loss set against the great events of 20th century Europe.

LovinLoving Le Corbusierg Le Corbusier follows the life of the young woman from Monaco who captured the heart of a man who became one of the most influential and divisive architects of the twentieth century. Spanning the period from the end of the Great War to the Riviera chic of the 1950s, Yvonne witnessed the fun of the Jazz Age and the desperate loneliness and displacement of Occupied France in World War Two. The novel is peopled by some of the most creative characters of the century, and set in France’s most stunning locations, from Paris in its Art Deco heyday to the glittering sunlight of the Côte d’Azur. As Le Corbusier’s fame grows, so, too, does the distance between him and his wife. This is a portrait of a love affair that defies the odds, and of a country in flux.

Loving Le Corbusier is now available through most eBook retailer, including Amazon Kindle, iBookstore, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble.

  1. Dear Colin Bisset, Is the book on Yvonne Gallis also available in a printed version, or through print on demand. I loved reading the book by Nicholas Fox Webber and am very curious for your. Please let me know.

    • Hi Jan-Richard, It’s only in the various ebook variants. I’m sorry if that’s a barrier. The Fox Webber autobiography is a good read, certainly, and I enjoyed getting snippets of information about Yvonne in other books, too, like Charlotte Perriand’s and Rolland Romain. An interesting if slightly mysterious character! Cheers, Colin
