From the Blurb:
Jay Hamilton lives in a fashionable area of London, listening to the problems of the wealthy clients who frequent his psychoanalysis practice.
Opening Lines:
When Jay opened his front door, Cora slunk past him down the hallway like a sleepwalker groping through a familiar terrain. Rainwater dripped from her coat sleeves onto the wooden floor. She sank into the couch as if falling backwards from a great height, head bowed, chin almost touching her breastbone. Jay could smell her despair.
