Another Woman's Husband

Could you resist temptation?

Becca thought she was happy. She's been with her husband Martin so long it rarely occurs to her that there could be any other way; her fourteen-year-old daughter is growing up to be confident and clever; and she has an unusually good relationship with her parents. But when her mother announces that she's leaving Becca's father, suddenly everything changes. Becca's in freefall, as everything she thought was certain is slipping away. When Martin becomes too preoccupied with training for the marathon to listen to her concerns, Becca is drawn, dangerously, to a man who has no right to pursue her.... Whether her marriage will survive or not, Becca's woken up, and she's never going to be quite the same woman again.

‘There is so much more to this book than its title suggests. It does feature a married man – a theatre director by whom the lead character Becca is bewitched: but it’s the depiction of the loss of emotional intimacy in her own marriage that brings this book to life, a subtle loosening of connections between two people who once loved each other. Becca’s crisis of confidence is precipitated by the breakdown of her parents’ 50-year union and this too is delicately explored. Both women feel stifled by their domestic lives; Becca wants to escape into acting, her mother wants to move to the other side of the world, but the bewilderment Becca’s elderly father feels when it dawns on him that life has passed him by is equally affecting.’ - DAILY TELEGRAPH
