Other Lulus by Philip Hensher
A beautifully crafted tale of the loves, lust and lies of a young Viennese opera singer. When young singer Friederike marries English music-seller Archy he claims to have discovered the lost last act of Alban Berg's opera ‘Lulu’. What emerges is a story of music, lying, marriage and cooking set against the backdrop of contemporary Vienna.‘A very accomplished book indeed, brimming with quality and admirably lacking in tricks or literary artifice…a crisply written story with a nice undertow of irony…there is fine writing on every pageThe dialogue is inch-perfect and there are some beautifully mournful descriptive passages.’ Sunday Telegraph
