In fin-de-siecle Vienna, it was not easy for a woman to find intellectual stimulation and fulfillment.

But many believe that Minna Bernays found it with 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 is

‘a portrait of forbidden desire with a thought-provoking central question- How far are you willing to go to be happy?’*

‘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
‘It’s a fascinating story told in an utterly compelling fashion … . A wonderful, engaging, and bittersweet novel.

I absolutely loved it.’
