Set in the colourful, threatened world of occupied Warsaw just before the Holocaust, this third novel by a highly praised writer tells the story of Gloria, a young Freudian analyst whose sole client, a Jewish tycoon, fakes his own suicide and thereby drags Gloria into a web of intrigue, deception and betrayal.

Gloria, the sexy, clever, appealing narrator of David Flusfederâs brilliant third novel, is thrown into a series of adventures after the faked suicide of her sole client, a Jewish tycoon in occupied Warsaw. She is dragged into a plot to assassinate Igo Sym, one of several real-life figures appearing in the novel: a Polish movie star who became âVolkdeutschâ during the Nazi occupation.

Murder, comedy, paranoia, heartache and depth psychologyâ¦ these are the threads running through this vividly readable new novel by the author of âMAN KILLS WOMANâ and âLIKE PLASTICâ. In original, sensual prose, Flusfeder has woven a novel both entertaining and thoughtful, preoccupied by war, by the idea of âpsychic infectionâ, by sexual and physical power, by danger and the exotic.

Industry Reviews

In an unnamed European city, sensuous young psychologist Gloria allows herself to be bought by a powerful but unbalanced gangster. She must devote herself to treating his neuroses in return for protection, as a sinister invading force gains power, a wall goes up to divide the ethnically-mixed population and a reign of political terror begins. When her protector mysteriously disappears, who can she trust? Her almost lover who now wears the uniform of the oppressors? Her erstwhile boss? Based on real events inside the Warsaw ghetto, Flusfeder's story sheds new light on more recent European nightmares as well as on the Holocaust itself. (Kirkus UK)
