"A thrilling story of seduction, betrayal, and loss, Freud's Mistress will titillate fans of Memoirs of a Geisha and The Other Boleyn Girl."-Booklist
In fin-de-si cle Vienna, it was not easy for a woman to find fulfillment both intellectually and sexually.
But many believe that Minna Bernays was able to find both with one man-her brother-in-law, Sigmund Freud.
At once a portrait of two sisters-the rebellious, independent Minna and her inhibited sister, Martha-and of the compelling and controversial doctor who would be revered as one of the twentieth century's greatest thinkers, Freud's Mistress is a novel rich with passion and historical detail and "a portrait of forbidden desire with a thought-provoking central question- How far are you willing to go to be happy?"*
