When Lily meets Marcus, she feels an immediate attraction to him. Within a week, she has moved into the magnetic architect?s echoing loft in East London. But nothing could have prepared Lily for what she finds there. The distinct presence of another woman lingers in the loft, one who seems to have disappeared in a hurry, leaving behind a single party dress, a puzzling mark on the wall, and the suffocating scent of jasmine. Lily?s unsettling curiosity soon turns to obsession as the spirit of this mysterious woman increasingly haunts her. With a nod to Daphne du Maurier?s classic novel Rebecca, My Lover?s Lover is a sexy, modern gothic tale that will keep readers hooked until the very end.

Not Top Shelf -  |
My Lover's Lover Review |
|
After reading The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox and After You'd Gone by the same author, this book was sort of a disappointment. Even though My Lover's Lover did not have a great story to tell as the other two books, it was very well written. But, not as satisfying a read as her other books. |

A Lover of Lover's Lover -  |
My Lover's Lover Review |
|
Maggie O'Farrell has been voted one of the 20 English authors destined to shake the literary world in the next 10 years. In this book she explores what it is like to fall in love with someone incapable of loving anyone except himself. Lily (no accident of a name for she is fragile and easily swayed) falls in love and discovers the real meaning of love between two independent people. Easier to read than some of O'Farrel's other work, a page turner. |

Suspenseful and keeps you guessing! - |
My Lover's Lover Review |
|
My Lover's Lover was my second Maggie O'Farrel novel, while I didn't enjoy it as much as After You'd Gone, this was still a very good read.
Suspenseful...wow, it kept the pages turning and I was dying to see what was going to happen, to find out all of the secrets. I felt wrapped up with the main character and could feel her emotions as I read, O'Farrel certainly has a way with words. O'Farrel's books are hard to find by me, but I'd certainly keep an eye out for more of hers. She's a talented writer. If you can find her books I'd recommend them. |

Spooky beginning but flounders near the end - |
My Lover's Lover Review |
|
Maggie O'Farrell has a beautiful writing style that draws you into her stories and her characters are vividly described. Unfortunately, although I was initially captivated by this novel, my interest waned about three quarters of the way through when the tension seemed to be completely sucked from the story after a plot revelation fell flat.
The novel begins very strongly, with Lily falling (quite literally) for Marcus, an enigmatic man who has recently lost his girlfriend. Lily ends up renting a room in his home, which he shares with the likeable Aidan, and they enter into a love affair. At this point Lily starts to feel haunted by the ghostly presence of Marcus's ex-girlfriend who used to live in the room she is now renting. This part of the book was very well written, managing to be both poignant and genuinely spooky. As I've already mentioned, I didn't think the last part of the book was as good. There is a plot twist that seems to leave the book floundering and left me feeling a bit cheated by the sudden change in direction. Although the book is wonderfully written, it isn't as satisfying a read as I'd originally expected. The book seemed to raise some interesting questions which it later backed away from completely. However, O'Farrell is a fine writer and I'll happily give her other novels a go. |

Not That Interesting - |
My Lover's Lover Review |
|
My Lover's Lover is a story of women acting foolishly. Marcus is obviously a good looking guy with a lot of confidence in his ability to lure women to him. Two basically good women fall for him, and they make serious commitments way too early in the getting-to-know-you stage of the relationship.
The story of how each woman managed to be deceived is interesting, but not compelling. Most women are intelligent and appropriately skeptical about these things; and judging by the way these women are characterized in the novel, both of our heroines would have been more careful. Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of this novel is that there is no definite conclusion. It's touted as a novel of suspense; but apart from a crime passionelle, there is nothing too suspenseful about this. The book just wanders off into a foreign country, and all of a sudden the book's over. I wouldn't recommend anyone read this, although many seem to think O'Farrell is capable of much better judging by her first novel After You'd Gone. |
