Publisher's Summary
From the author of The Marriage Portrait and New York Times bestseller Hamnet comes My Lover’s Lover, an intense, unnerving and passionate story of betrayal, loss and love, with all the frisson and psychological intensity of Rebecca.
When Lily moves into new boyfriend Marcus's apartment and plunges headlong into their relationship, she must contend with an intangible, hostile presence—Marcus’s ex-girlfriend, Sinead. As Lily and Marcus become more deeply involved, Lily becomes obsessed with Sinead's fate and thinks she sees her everywhere. She must question not only her sanity, but whether the man she loves is someone she can, or should, be with at all.

Amazing book
Maggie O’Farrell always writes with beautiful and vivid descriptions but this book is on another level. The four parts of the book fit together brilliantly with surprises at every turn. You won’t be able to put it down - and Julia Watson’s narration is perfect. 5 stars across the board. Enjoy.

Too Many Trees, Not Enough Forest
I suppose all readers feel cheated when a novel's final chapter fails to keep the promise made in the first, but I'm particularly ornery about unresolved stories, especially when the prose was challenging.
There's some heavyhanded writing here; turgid phrasing, an overabundance of simile, and an excess of alliteration.
The story shifts about in time, tense and PoV. It's well managed but the frequent need to reorient oneself interferes with the narrative.
Sometimes the writing just gets in the way of the story. That's not something I blame the writer for, it's the editor's job to prune for clarity.
This modern gothic has every potential but the pace is crippled by overly dense descriptive language.
This story begins with such promise but is told so ponderously that it fails to flourish.
