analysts in love

This is a very funny, wise, weird book! Annie Rose is the perfect wife to one psychoanalyst and the perfect mistress of another. She herself is an analyst and she's in analysis and her lover is in analysis... and one of the five psychoanalysts will not return alive from the August vacation which forms the frame of the book.Arden's characters are vivd and compelling, her wit and her sorrow combine masterfully as Annie makes the journey from being a person who lives for others into a world in which there's a little room for her.
