Book description
Listening In allows the reader to eavesdrop behind the closed door of
the therapy room, where private and personal lives are stripped bare.
Forty-something Patrick Chime is a talented therapist but terrible
husband. When a client demands Patrick's personal, as well as
professional, involvement in his life, he is forced to evaluate not only
the true worth of the therapy but also the cost to him of a life spent
listening in. As his world starts to unravel, and he learns more about
his client's obsessions with the artist Degas and internet sex, Patrick
comes to appreciate the parallels between therapy and prostitution and
starts to question which is more genuine... A cleverly ironic tale of
love, betrayal and self-deception. A compelling read. --Zelda
