De la contraportada

Somewhere in Europe, these events took place. In a city threatened by invasion and inhabited by a divided population, Gloria, an ambitious young psychologist, is on a mission to cure men’s souls. When Solomon Heller, a notorious tycoon with digestive problems, asks to be her only client, Gloria acquiesces, although it’s not easy to give up a potentially fruitful relationship with her favourite client, the actor Igo Sym.

Everything is changed by war, the city is transformed, and Gloria abandons her profession – or tries to – but Sym and Heller, even in absence, continue to influence Gloria’s increasingly dangerous world of conspirators, collaborators and stars. Paranoia, comedy, glamour and heartache: Morocco is imbued with the personality of an appealing narrator whose frailty and courage force her into situations beyond her control. In precise and sensual prose, David Flusfeder has written a novel both dramatically entertaining and morally challenging, on the efforts made to live ordinary lives in extraordinary times.
