Description

Solal, a man of considerable power and influence, has grown disillusioned with the world of international affairs. His one hope for redemption lies in love, and he sets his sights on Ariane, the wife of a League of Nations employee. This audacious seduction sets in motion a complex web of relationships and motivations, as Solal navigates the intricate world of middle-class manners and global politics. A brilliant and inventive novel, Her Lover is a merciless satire of the ambitions and machinations of those who shape the world. With a cast of vivid and eccentric characters, Cohen creates a world that is both wonderfully observed and baroquely detailed. Through Solal's story, Cohen offers a searing critique of the self-serving individuals who inhabit the upper echelons of society, and the ways in which they manipulate and deceive one another. A thought-provoking and engaging read, Her Lover is a novel that will appeal to fans of literary fiction and satire.
