A DREADFUL SECRET HAS CONSEQUENCES FOR ALL
From the author of Drowned (Other Press, 2012) comes a passionate psychological drama where questions of power and sexuality are brought to a head.
She works at Norrkoping Hospital, at the very bottom of the hierarchy. Below the doctors, the nurses and the nursing assistants. She works in the cafeteria. But she dreams of one day becoming an author, of moving away and living a completely different life.
Carl Malmberg, an older married man who works as a doctor at the hospital, stands out. Our protagonist enters into a passionate affair, though struggles with the knowledge that he may never be hers. At the same time, she finds her life further complicated as she wonders whether Dr Malmberg's sexual interest in her might be centred around the lopsided power dynamic between them, and whether a mysterious girl named Alex might be in love with her.
As the novel unfolds, a secret no one could have predicted has consequences for all involved.

Therese Bohman's The Other Woman is a passionate psychological drama with questions of power and sexuality.
"Equally erotic and shrewd, the latest from Bohman (Drowned) reads like a confession, or diary... The author's prose is breathtaking, oscillating between her narrator's tumultuous feelings toward her lover and the narrator's curiosity--and occasional disdain--for the world around her.... An elegant, rich take on an age-old narrative."
