The Other Half

By Sarah Rayner

The wife, the mistess - each has her own story.

Chloe - savvy, hip and single - is a feature writer with ambitions to launch a magazine of he own. When she meets James, 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 a beautiful, talented cook, and has a gorgeous husband. But something is not quite right: his job as a magazine publisher is keeping him in the city until late, and some nights he doesn't come home at all... Told in the alternating voices of the mistress and the wife, this story of a steamy, passionate affair is both intoxicating and heartbreaking. But who, if anyone, will come out unscathed? In writing that is lively, sexy and sharp, the international bestselling author Sarah Rayner explores modern-day relationships and age-old moral dilemmas.
