Why read it?
1 author picked Other Women as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book completely took me by surprise. I’m not normally a fan of historical fiction, but I loved it!
It is a psychological thriller set in London in 1923 and tells the story of two women linked by one man, a terrible murder, and the consequences of that murder.
The characters felt so contemporary, the psychological motivation so realistic, and the period detail so vivid, fascinating, and beautifully described that it hooked me and lived with me for a long time after I’d finished it.
