"All my life I have been interested only in men. That's how it is. You can call it a defect, if you want." Camille has begun divorce proceedings and a new novel. While sitting in a café, she falls in love with a man who walks past. She follows him, and discovers he is an analyst, specialising in marriage guidance. Camille sees this neither as an absurd cliché (falling in love with one's analyst!), nor as a strange coincidence, but as a slice of good fortune, a promise for the future - with him, she can go straight to the point, to love. In Those Arms is about the loving of men, and of being loved by them. Within it is Camille's own book, about a writer like herself and all the men in her life - fathers, brothers, grandfathers, friends, colleagues, bosses, husbands and lovers. Stylish, subtle and clever, this is a seductive and witty novel.
