Other Lulus - Softcover

‘A very accomplished book indeed, brimming with quality and admirably lacking in tricks or literary artifice...a crisply written story with a nice undertow of irony...there is fine writing on every page. The dialogue is inch-perfect and there are some beautifully mournful descriptive passages.’ Sunday Telegraph

A beautifully crafted tale of the loves, lust and lies of a young Viennese opera singer.

When young singer Friederike marries English music-seller Archy he claims to have discovered the lost last act of Alban Berg's opera ‘Lulu’. What emerges is a story of music, lying, marriage and cooking set against the backdrop of contemporary Vienna.
