Intimacies: A Novel
Katie Kitamura
From the author of A Separation, a taut & electrifying story about a woman caught between many truths. An interpreter has come to The Hague to escape New York & work at the International Court. A woman of many languages & identities, she is looking for a place to finally call home. She's drawn into simmering personal dramas: her lover, Adriaan, is separated from his wife but still entangled in his marriage.
Her friend Jana witnesses a seemingly random act of violence, a crime the interpreter becomes increasingly obsessed with as she befriends the victim's sister. And she's pulled into an explosive political controversy when she's asked to interpret for a former president accused of war crimes. A woman of quiet passion, she confronts power, love, & violence, both in her personal intimacies & in her work at the Court. She is soon pushed to the precipice, where betrayal & heartbreak threaten to overwhelm her, forcing her to decide what she wants from her life.
