After their father's funeral, Erik and Inga Davidsen find a cryptic
letter from an unknown woman among his papers, dating from his
adolescence in rural Minnesota during the Depression. Returning to
his psychiatric practice in New York, Erik sets about reading his
father's memoir, hoping to discover the man he never fully
understood. At the same time, another woman enters Erik's lonely,
divorced life - a beautiful Jamaican who moves into his garden flat
with her small daughter. As Erik gets drawn into the cat-and-mouse
tactics of someone who appears to be stalking her, he finds out
that his sister Inga is also being threatened, by a journalist in
possession of a wounding secret from her past. A multi-layered
novel that probes the mysteries of the heart and mind, THE SORROWS
OF AN AMERICAN is compulsive, thought-provoking and profoundly
affecting.
