Why read it?
1 author picked The Other Catherine as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Another perfect five-star read from Lauren Keenan. I was completely lost in Catherine's story, and Keita's, and the side stories of Rosannah, Brigid and Mairie. The Author's Note alone could have been a whole book, and I'd love follow-on books about these women. Please?!
