Synopsis: "A thrilling story of seduction, betrayal, and loss, Freud's Mistress will titillate fans of Memoirs of a Geisha and The Other Boleyn Girl."--Booklist

In fin-de-siècle Vienna, it was not easy for a woman to find fulfillment both intellectually and sexually.

But many believe that Minna Bernays was able to find both with one man--her brother-in-law, Sigmund Freud.

At once a portrait of two sisters--the rebellious, independent Minna and her inhibited sister, Martha--and of the compelling and controversial doctor who would be revered as one of the twentieth century's greatest thinkers, Freud's Mistress is a novel rich with passion and historical detail and "a portrait of forbidden desire [with] a thought-provoking central question: How far are you willing to go to be happy?"*
