'In Those Arms' is about the loving of men, and being loved by them. Stylish, subtle and clever, this is a seductive and witty novel.
'All my life I have been interested only in men. That's how it is. You can call it a defect if you want . . .'
Camille has begun divorce proceedings and a new novel. While sitting in a cafe, she falls in love with a man who walks past. She follows him, and discovers he is an analyst, specialising in marriage guidance. Camille sees this as neither an absurd cliche (falling in love with one's analyst!), nor as a strange coincidence, but as a slice of good fortune, a promise for the future - with him, she can go straight to the point, to love.
Within this book, is Camille's own, about a writer like herself and all the men in her life - fathers, brothers, grandfathers, friends, colleagues, bosses, husbands and lovers.
