Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Mutual Interest by Olivia Wolfgang-Smith is about ambition, sexuality and secrecy.
What We Say: “A timeless queer love story set at the turn of the 20th century. Vivian Lesperance is determined to avoid repeating her parents’ dull, limited life. When she meets Oscar Schmidt, a middle manager at a soap company, Vivian finds a partner she can guide to build the life she wants – not least because, more interested in men himself, Oscar will leave Vivian to tend to her own romances with women.” – Samantha de Haas
What They Say: “A timeless queer love story and a meditation on power, capitalism, and the flow of history [...] This novel is a revelation and a joy.” – Anna North
Available on Bookshop.org, Waterstones, and Barnes & Noble
