Über diesen Titel
When Lily moves into Marcus's flat and plunges headlong into a relationship, she must contend not merely with the disapproval of flatmate Aidan, but with a more intangible, hostile presence. Could it be that Sinead, Marcus's ex, is trying to communicate with her? When Lily begins to 'see' Sinead, first about the flat, and then on the streets of London, she must question not merely her sanity, but whether the man she loves is someone she can, or indeed ought, to live with at all.

Kritikerstimmen
A quietly dramatic dissection of the way past loves can haunt the present
...an emotional whirlwind, all passionate yearnings, raw pain and messy truths; powerful in nailing the complications of love without missing it out the power of the emotions involved
This Rebecca-esque ghost story puts at its heart the gnawing insecurities that any act of intimacy soon invites
O'Farrell's writing has a crystalline precision of idiom - there isn't one image that fails to ignite recognition
O'Farrell has honourably equalled the success of her first novel, After You'd Gone, with a story that is certainly as absorbing - and just as beautifully written
A sensual, creepy tale of passion and jealousy - should cement her reputation
O'Farrell makes masterful use of the industrial setting - all echoing spaces and clanging doors - to create an atmosphere laden with suspense, but just as you think you've got the story figured out, a fresh twist keeps you turning the pages
A psychological drama with, at its core, the timeless theme of love betrayed... she is adept at evoking extreme emotions... shock, grief and loss spring from the page as intensely as they did in O'Farrell's first book
A story that is much more than a romance, exploring the dark avenues of obsession, and the lingering aftermath of a relationship... Award-winning novelist Maggie O'Farrell has created an unusual, suspenseful tale, laying bare the damage that lovers can do to one another. Her writing is exquisite, her images tangible... O'Farrell understands human nature in frightening depth and skilfully lays a trail of half-truths and mystery to ensnare and enthrall
An epic, domestic romance... a worthy sequel to AFTER YOU'D GONE
Part chiller, part love story, with its lurching twists and poetic bravura, this is VERTIGO for the WHAT LIES BENEATH generation
Even better than AFTER YOU'D GONE
As soon as I'd finished My Lover's Lover, Maggie O'Farrell's second novel, I rushed to my local bookshop to acquire her first - that is the drug-like strength of O'Farrell's storytelling. My Lover's Lover, as its title suggests, is a gripping and passionate double love story, which takes contemporary romantic fiction into wilder territory... Years ago, I was weaned off my Wharton habit because the drug ran out. What can possibly save me from total addiction to the young O'Farrell, who, one hopes, is at the start of a long and brilliant career?
'...emotionally acute...'
'...a novel full of spine-tingling intrigue. Read it and pass it on.

novels by the author, and I like the Rebecca plot (also the Hitchcock!) and it’s psychological dimensions. But this book was a deception — chaotic in structure and perspective (try to imitate Virginia Woolf’s stream of consciousness?) and altogether pseudo-deep. The emotions didn’t touch me at all, the characters with all their pretended sensitivity (female protagonists plus their girl-friends), morality (Aidan), egoism (Markus) are total clichés in the end. This effect is increased by the somewhat congenial reading full of never ceasing pathos and edgy suspense even when the most banal details of every day’s London life are described with their noises, odours and touches as in a creative writing class.
Unconvincing — emotionally, literary, psychologically
