Strange Attractors

By Ruhama Veltfort

Karen is very happy with her second marriage.

Spencer is a wonderful cook, a dedicated husband and a great lover.

But since her marriage four years ago, her other relationships have become strained.

Her son Sammy, away at college, is always looking to start an argument. Her best friend Deb seems jealous of their close relationship. And her ex-husband always manages to get under her skin.



Karen just wants everything to be OK, for everyone to get along.

But when a little girl goes missing and rumours start to circulate, long-buried secrets start bubbling to the surface.

As the plot unravels, Karen begins to wonder… can you ever truly know the deepest darkest desires of those closest to you?

‘Strange Attractors’ is a brilliantly thoughtful and provocative novel that is perfect for fans of Philip Roth and Alan Hollinghurst. 

“Strange Attractors tackles a difficult subject matter with delicacy and skill. Ruhama Veltfort’s prose is rich, absorbing and poetic.” – Magdalena Ball, author of Sleep Before Evening, Repulsion Thrust and Black Cow
