Publisher Description
Her award-winning novel, After You’d Gone, established Maggie O’Farrell as a master of psychological depth and supple prose. In My Lover’s Lover she has written a haunting page-turner.
When Lily slips on the sidewalk outside a London gallery and literally falls at the feet of a stranger, Marcus, the attraction is instant and electric.

As Lily falls ever more deeply in love with Marcus, Sinead’s aura consumes her with fear and obsession that spark a drama of passion and betrayal
