The Other Half: The wife, the mistress. Each has her own story.

0/5 ( ratings)

'A highly promising debut. For anyone who has either been a wife or a mistress, The Other Half will certainly ring true. And for anyone who's been involved in a secret relationship or is considering an affair, this novel should be compulsory reading.' HEAT

Chloe - savvy, hip and single - is a feature writer with ambitions to launch a magazine of he own. When she meets James, her potential new boss, she knows she shouldn't mix business with pleasure but finds it impossible to resist...

Maggie appears to have it all - she's a beautiful, talented cook, and has a gorgeous husband. But something is not quite right: his job as a magazine publisher is keeping him in the city until late, and some nights he doesn't come home at all...

Told in the alternating voices of the mistress and the wife, this story of a steamy, passionate affair is both intoxicating and heartbreaking. But who, if anyone, will come out unscathed?

In writing that is lively, sexy and sharp, the international bestselling author Sarah Rayner explores modern-day relationships and age-old moral dilemmas.

'Carefully crafted and empathetic.' Sunday Times

PRAISE FOR ANOTHER NIGHT, ANOTHER DAY

'An irresistible novel about friendship, family and dealing with life's blows' Woman & Home

'Intertwining narratives move the plot on at a brisk pace and, despite the subject matter, this becomes an uplifting rather than depressing read as the likable key characters form friendships and learn strategies to help them return to an even keel. Rayner understands her subject well and has written an enjoyable and insightful narrative which gently, but expertly, probes this often avoided, certainly less charted, emotional territory.'
