About this listen

An unforgettable novel about love - and the first work of fiction by the author of the groundbreaking nonfiction best seller In a Different Voice.

Kyra is an architect, involved in a project to design a new city. Andreas, a theater director, is staging an innovative production of the opera Tosca. Both have come through political upheaval and personal loss. Neither wants to fall in love. Yet when she asks him, “What is the opposite of losing?” and he says, “Finding,” it galvanizes a powerful attraction, and they risk opening themselves to love once again.

When their love affair leads to a shocking betrayal, Kyra’s fierce determination to see under the surface, to know what was true and real, brings her to Greta, a remarkable therapist. As the therapy itself repeats the themes of love and loss, Kyra challenges its structure, and the struggle that ensues between the two women opens the way to a larger understanding.

Passionate and revolutionary, Kyra is an exquisitely written love story, imbued with gentle humor. This is an extraordinary work of fiction by one of the most brilliant writers of our time.

heaped

well i have a big respect for Carol Gilligan, but i don't like books that need to show how much general knowledge the writer has and be overoaded with informations about each subject they write that takes us away from the story endlessly. i can read the opera stories apart of the book as wel as psyco. theories. etc...it was quite exhausting to read it. pitty as it's a beautiful story
