Summary:
From the acclaimed author of Miss Burma, longlisted for the National Book Award and the Womens Prize, comes a tense and thought-provoking exploration of an intellectual affair and its reverberations across the lives of two couples.
Tessa is a successful white woman writer who develops a friendship, first by correspondence and then in person, with Charlie, a ruggedly handsome philosopher and scholar based in Los Angeles. Sparks fly as they exchange ideas about Camus and masculine desire, and their intellectual connection promises morebut there are obstacles to this burgeoning relationship.
While Tessas husband, Milton, enjoys Charlies company on his visits to the East Coast, Charlies mixed-race Asian wife, Wah, is a different case, and she proves to be both adversary and conundrum to Tessa. Wahs traditional femininity and subservience to her husband strike Tessa as weaknesses, and she scoffs at the sacrifices Wah makes as adoptive mother to a Burmese girl, Htet, once homeless on the streets of Kuala Lumpur. But Wah has a kind of power too, especially over Charlie, and the conflict between the two women leads to Tessas martini-fueled declaration that Wah is an insult to womankind. As Tessa is forced to deal with the consequences of her outburst and considers how much she is limited by her own perceptions, she wonders if Wah is really as weak as she has seemed, or if she might have a different kind of strength altogether.
An exercise in empathy, an exploration of betrayal, and a charged story of the thrill of a shared connectionand the perils of feminine rivalryMy Nemesis is a brilliantly dramatic and captivating story from a hugely talented writer whose portrayals are always gracefully phrased and keenly observed.
