The Other Woman by Amanda Brookfield- Women’s contemporary fiction   

“How our destinies can be changed by the smallest decisions”

Fran met Jack at an auction when she wandered in out of curiosity. She knew her

marriage was rather a sham and that Pete really didn’t treat her well, having

resorted to violence at times and her treading on eggshells being very careful

what she even said to him. The relationship between her and Jack blossomed

to the point of having planned to escape to Madrid. Fran arrives at the airport

with a loaded suitcase and there is no sign or message from Jack. She waits

and waits to no avail and eventually has to return home quickly and carefully

putting everything back before Pete and their son Harry get home.

Her best friend Mel is the only one who knew about this other than

what she had put in her resignation letter which she manages to rescind.

Of life after being let down so badly and being in a marriage she really

wants out of but with little chance of escape.I quickly got into his- always

the sign of good writing to me and I liked Fran who came across level

headed and someone you would take to in real life. A story of hope and

friendships and chances . Of making the most of what life throws at you-

when life throws you lemons- add gin! (or make lemonade!). A well written

book that perhaps makes you think about life a little, the things we perhaps

take for granted and grabbing that opportunity and not putting up with

certain things. A wonderful read that I highly recommend.

The Other Woman 'No one gets to the heart of human relationships quite so perceptively as Brookfield.' The Mirror On a normal day, in a normal house, on a normal street, wife and mother Fran has had enough. 

She packs a case, leaves a note for her bullying husband Pete, and one for her beloved twenty

-year-old son Harry, and heads to the airport - and freedom. In another house, on another street, Helena is desperately baiting her husband Jack into a

fight. These days it feels like the only way to get Jack to take notice of her. Passionate, volatile, increasingly fragile, Helena is fast running out of hope. What Helena and Fran don’t know, is that soon their lives are going to come crashing together

in ways neither expect nor understand. And if Fran and Helena are going to change their

own futures, then first they will have to change each other’s. Amanda Brookfield is back with a triumphant, crackling story about love, marriage, lies and

fate, and how our destinies can be changed by the smallest decisions. Perfect for fans of

Sheila O'Flanagan, Jane Fallon and Jane Green.
