The Only Problem
Muriel Spark
Open Road Media
<p>A wealthy academic’s life shatters when his estranged wife becomes the suspected leader of a terrorist organization<br />
</p>
<p>Having led a successful, comfortable life, Harvey Gotham retires to the French countryside to pursue bookish obsessions—namely, a long monograph on the Book of Job, the biblical narrative of faith in the face of extraordinary suffering. But Gotham’s intellectual interests soon bleed into his daily life when a series of misfortunes, from a destructive affair to his wife’s involvement with an extremist group, threaten to destroy everything he holds dear.<br />
<br />
Hailed by the <em>New York Times</em> as “an extremely sophisticated account of the perils that surround our unsuspecting lives in the world today,” <em>The Only Problem</em> balances Spark’s unique blend of razor-sharp satire and moral introspection in one fast-paced, absorbing novel.<br />
