Gloria, the young Freudian analyst narrator of Flusfeder's third novel, is thrown into a series of adventures after the faked suicide of her sole client, a Jewish tycoon in occupied Warsaw. An Author's Note to rear reveals that 'few settings in the book are invented. Names of Warsaw streets and places have been translated, or adapted.' His father was born in the city and fought with the Polish Free Army, and the book is co-dedicated to his grandparents and uncle who perished in the Holocaust. "Spare, intelligent and haunting." –Esquire
