Escape: The Heyday of Caribbean Glamour

Escape will appeal to readers interested in fashion and photography, social history and travel, architecture and design, in the manner of Hotel Il Pellicano, Doris Duke's Shangri-la, and C. Z. Guest: American Style Icon.

Escape is a celebration of the twentieth-century jet-setting lifestyle in the warm-weather destinations of the Caribbean and Florida--from the great estates of ambitious patrons to the most exclusive resorts of the mid-twentieth century--in a spectacular photographic presentation that chronicles its glamour and appeals to the nostalgia for it.
