Marcus, handsome and seemingly enigmatic, presents a very attractive prospect for young Lily, who soon finds herself moving into Marcus's flat and into the bedroom of the recently departed Sinead - who, Lily learns, was Marcus's lover. Intrigued by the beautiful Sinead, by Marcus's relationship with her and with what really happened to her, Lily rapidly becomes obsessed with her predecessor - especially when Marcus soon becomes Lily's lover. But is Sinead dead - as Marcus infers - or is she still very much alive? And if she is alive, why is she haunting Lily?
With (very faint) tones of Daphne du Maurier's classic 'Rebecca' - in fact Alfred Hitchcock's movie version of 'Rebecca' is actually watched by Marcus and Lily during the course of the novel - Maggie O'Farrell's 'My Lover's Lover' is a tale which initially held me gripped by the storyline and by Lily's obsession with the elusive Sinead. I was also very interested in what had really happened between Marcus and Sinead and why their relationship - which, at first glance, appeared to be a solid one - came to such an unfortunate ending. However, as the novel progressed, I found myself wanting the author to get on with her story and really delve into Marcus's psyche and why he behaved the way he did - but I cannot explain further without revealing spoilers. So, on the whole, intriguing up to a point and I certainly wanted to discover what really happened between Marcus and Sinead, but not a story that I feel will stay in my mind for very long - hence the three stars and not the four stars I initially thought I'd award it when I first started the book.
3 Stars.
