Other People: A Novel

by Sol Stein

What does a man really know about love? “Francis Widmer is a well-bred, beautiful, provocative young woman with a good mind. When she is raped by Harry Koslak, she decides to press charges. Her attorney father sends her to George Thomassy, as successful criminal lawyer. Thomassy, against his better judgment, involves himself in the case and finds himself attracted to Francine more than he cares to admit. Stein lays bare the unsavory, manipulative aspects of criminal law as he explores today’s sexuality—its cruelties, hypocrisies, joys and mysteries. Stein gives readers what they want.”—Cleveland Press “Riveting shocking so many intriguing characters, as credible as they are memorable.”—King Features Syndicate “A timely, powerful story.”—Library Journal
