Hon arbetar p Norrkpings sjukhus och str lngst ner i hierarkin, efter lkarna, sjukskterskorna och underskterskorna. Hon terfinns i bespisningen. Men hon drmmer om att en dag bli frfattare, att flytta ngon annanstans och leva ett helt annat liv.??En dag nr det regnar rkar hon i samsprk med lkaren Carl Malmberg och han erbjuder henne skjuts hem. Det blir startpunkten fr en passionerad krlekshistoria mellan en gift man och en lskarinna som drmmer sig bort.??Therese Bohman debuterade med den uppmrksammade romanen Den drunknade, som versattes till flera sprk. ven hennes nya roman r ett psykologiskt passionsdrama dr frgan om makt och sexualitet stlls p sin spets. Men Den andra kvinnan handlar lika mycket om att ska sina drmmar och att utmana rdslorna inom sig sjlv.

Amazing. I kept waiting for the narrator to betray herself and start conforming to the general opinion of how to be, behave and react, but she never did. Beautifully written and perfectly structured.

Some balcony reading before we go find ourselves a spot by the water. This book is AMAZING! It might even get 5 stars, something that never happens with me. Bohman is a genius that writes with excruciating honesty. I think your translation was mediocre, @batsy , because the original Swedish is impeccable!

batsy I had an instinct it was the translation, sadly 🙁 Although the clunkiness was more pronounced in the other book, Drowned. This story was good in terms of class, status, and feminism 👍 7y

tricours @batsy This is The Other Woman, it's my first of her books. Did you like it? I didn't know she had been translated to English. 7y
Smrloomis Ooooh! Enjoy Malta!!! 🎉😁 7y
batsy @tricours The English translations are put out by The Other Press, an interesting indie press. I wanted to like her books more than I did. I appreciate that she was creating a sort of moody atmosphere, which I like, but the language felt clunky at times. Wasn't sure if it's a translation issue. 7y
tricours @batsy the language is very good actually, so perhaps the translator wasn't very good! 7y

I loved this little book. An unnamed young woman tries to make sense of theories of feminism while living in reality, the loneliness that pushes her forward, the emergence of an overpowering sexual appetite, and a fierce intelligence that pulls her away from life as she has always known it.
