The Hothouse by the East River: A Novel

Touched by madness and haunted by a secret past, Paul and Elsaâ‚¬s relationship reveals that there can be no normality for people who witnessed the worst of war
Â
In 1970s New York, Paul and Elsa are like many other well-off middle-aged couples, worrying over their apartment and psychoanalyst bills by day, and meeting friends at restaurants by night. But this is not an ordinary couple with ordinary neuroses, as becomes clear when Paul convinces himself that Elsaâ‚¬s shadow always points in the wrong direction. As Paul and Elsaâ‚¬s involvement in World War II espionage begins to surface, the glitz and glamor of their lives is revealed to be nothing more than illusion.
Â
The Hothouse by the East River is a delirious satire of superficial urban life in the shadow of one of modern historyâ‚¬s great horrors.
