The mistress. The Wife. Each has her own story…
Chloe, bright hip and single, is a features editor with ambitions to launch a magazine of her own. When she meets 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 beautiful, a talented writer, and has a gorgeous husband. But something’s not quite right: his job as a magazine publisher is keeping him in the city until late most evenings, and some nights he doesn’t come home at all…
Told in alternating voices of the mistress and the wife, this story of an affair is a sharp, seductive take on modern love. Who, if anyone, comes out unscathed?
‘Rayner has a talent for turning domestic tragedies (widowhood, infertility and, here, adultery) into something quite special – amusing and astute studies in human resilience… An engaging, insightful portrait of infidelity, told with charm, Rayner plays it just right in the war zone of love.’
‘A highly promising debut,The Other Half is an insightful take on this increasingly common situation. For anyone who has either been a wife or a mistress, it will certainly ring true. And for anyone who’s been involved in a secret relationship, or is even considering an affair, it should be compulsory reading.’[/karma_callout_text]
