Description
'A burst of warmth and wit, twists and turns' - Marian Keyes
'This is Cathy Kelly on top form writing about warm, believable women with real, messy lives' - Rachel Hore
Other Women captures the stories of three modern women... A real feel-good read - Heat
The brilliant storyteller is back with another perfectly concocted tale - OK!
---
Three women. Three secrets. Three tangled lives...
Sid wears her independence like armour. So when she strikes up a rare connection with unlucky-in-love Finn, they are both determined to prove that men and women can just be friends. Can't they?
Marin has the perfect home, attentive husband, two beloved children - and a secret addiction to designer clothes. She knows she has it all, so why can't she stop comparing herself to other women?
Bea believes that we all have one love story - and she's had hers. Now her life centres around her son, Luke, and her support group of fierce single women. But there's something that she can't tell anyone...
With her inimitable warmth and wisdom, Cathy Kelly shows us that in the messy reality of marriage, family, and romance, sometimes it's the women in our lives who hold us together.
