Özet

Zoe Ball's BBC Radio 2 Book Club pick.

Mesmerising and haunting, Emma Flint's Other Women is a devastating story of fantasy, obsession inspired by a murder that took place almost a hundred years ago.

'A pitch-perfect historical mystery' – The Guardian
'Bloody brilliant' – Dinah Jefferies, author of The Missing Sister
'Compelling, twisty, and wonderfully suspenseful' – Claire Fuller, author of Unsettled Ground

It is 1923 and a country is in mourning. Thousands of husbands, fathers, sons and sweethearts were lost in the war, millions more returned home wounded and forever changed.

Beatrice Cade is an orphan, unmarried and childless. After her brother's death, she decides to make a new life for herself. She takes a room in a Bloomsbury ladies’ club and a job in the City. But just when her new world is starting to take shape, a fleeting encounter threatens to ruin everything.

Kate Ryan is an ordinary wife and mother. Since the end of the war, she has managed to build an enviable life with her husband and young daughter. From the outside, they seem like a normal, happy family. But when two policemen knock on Kate's door and jeopardize the facade Kate has created, she knows what she has to do to protect the people she loves. And suddenly, two women who never should have met are connected for ever . . .

'Exquisite' - Will Dean, author of Dark Pines

Eleştirmen yorumları

The tension grows throughout the book until it's almost unbearable. This is a book that will stay with you. (Ann Cleeves)
This beautifully written, pitch-perfect historical mystery is based on a real case – here, a murder that took place in 1924 . . . a moving study of loneliness, desperation, shame and public prurience. (Laura Wilson)
Exquisite and my book of the year. Utterly brilliant. (Will Dean, author of Dark Pines)
Flint maintains suspense in what is a thoroughly captivating and unsettling page-turner that deserves to land her on awards lists again. (Robert Epstein)
Emma Flint reworks the details of a notorious historical murder and unspools the fate of her three entirely convincing main characters.
Based on a shocking real-life murder in the 1920s Other Women focuses on Beatrice, almost invisible until she falls in love with a colleague, and Kate, seen as a devoted wife and mother, until their lives converge. I expect to see it on all the awards shortlists.
Other Women is compelling and twisty, and wonderfully suspenseful, and yet still full of empathy for the female characters. (Claire Fuller, author of Unsettled Ground)
Moving, gripping . . . Other Women takes another tale of a true crime and reimagines it into a novel – this time, the murder of Emily Beilby Kaye by her married lover, Herbert Patrick Mahon. (Alison Flood)
Bloody brilliant (Dinah Jeffries)
Set in the early 1920s, this clever mix of romance, thriller and courtroom drama proves love and heartbreak never ages, whatever the era.
Utterly, utterly brilliant. Other Women is compelling, thought-provoking, harrowing and incredibly urgent. (Caroline Lea)
Staggeringly brilliant, harrowing, haunting and entirely beautiful. Other Women takes a thrilling yet compassionate look at the making of a murder, at loneliness and love, at fixation and the sting of shame. A wonderful novel. (Chris Whitaker, author of We Begin at the End)
The tension is superb and I honestly couldn't put it down.
Poignant and elegant, brutal and beautiful, Other Women, is a masterclass in modern storytelling. (Helen Cullen, author of The Truth Must Dazzle Gradually)
A glittering black diamond of a book. Beautiful and devastating literary true crime. Emma Flint takes a real murder from the 1920s and gives voice to the women involved. Bubbling anger beneath exquisite prose. (Anna Mazolla, author of The Clockwork Girl)
It is brilliant. I was swept up in a turmoil of emotion as I read. This is a book that starts as a love story and turns into something much darker indeed. (Harriet Tyce, author of The Lies You Told)

I found this story rather difficult to get into initially. Perhaps it would have benefited from more ruthless editing? However, it is well worth perseverance. A gripping tale and excellent performances from the two narrators.

A friend picked this for our Bookclub and I was hooked, I finished it in a few days as a was listening at every opportunity I got. A sad story, from many different angles, it is also compelling and you find yourself rooting for different people and latter wondering what you’d do in certain characters positions. The story makes you ponder questions around love, loyalty, social standing, safety and uncertain futures, trust, how women are portrayed in the media during legal cases, how other women judge women, along with many other thoughts. For example at a time when men were scarce, post war, I found myself very much questioning whether given the choice to be alone or continue with a married man what I would do given how well the fear of loneliness was conveyed alongside the passion of being wanted.

It left me very thoughtful and very sad for the real people involved in this case and women who are caught up in complex relationships.

I can’t wait to discuss it at Bookclub and hope you enjoy it too.

Very thought provoking, I couldn’t stop listening.

Based on a True Story from 1924. I hadn’t heard of it before (bit before my time!) but fascinating and very interesting insight in to that time. Pleased I gave it a listen and gives an insight in to the wife and of course the woman victims life in those times which was so male dominated that he could well have been let go. I am sure you will enjoy the story as well as being based on true events.

Based on a true story. Excellent listen.

This audio book had me gripped from the start. I’m glad I listened, rather than reading, as the narrators brought it to life.

It really enhanced how women were portrayed so unequally to men, during that era.

I highly recommend this audiobook.

Thought provoking
