A novel raises a chorus of harmonic questions rather than squealing a single answer. Contemporary people are seeking to resolve problems for ethical perfection — the correct word, the right behavior, the sole and righteous position on myriad complex issues.

The interpreter threads it brilliantly through the intimacies that she is trying to navigate: with new colleagues, women friends, and her beau, who goes away; with the work and with the nature of The Hague itself…
