About this listen

 Jojo Harvey is a literary agent whose star is on the rise. In love with both her married boss and her burgeoning career, not much distracts her. Until she finds herself representing two women who used to be best friends. Used to be. One of them, Gemma, has suddenly found herself from a broken home at the age of 32. Meanwhile, Lily, the woman Gemma has always blamed for stealing her one chance of happiness, is enjoying the overnight success of her debut novel. Set in the world of publishing, The Other Side of the Story is about love, loyalty, glass ceilings and survival tactics - and what to do when you get your chance for revenge.©2004 W F Howes Ltd (P)2004 W F Howes Ltd Contemporary Contemporary Romance Family Life Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Literature & Fiction Romance Romantic Comedy Women's Fiction Funny Witty Comedy Feel-Good

I read this book many years ago but had forgotten most of it, Lily was the only character which had stayed with me. I always enjoy Marian Keyes books, they take you on a journey with The characters without being sickly sweet or predictable. The narrator brings the book alive with all the different voices. I will be looking for more audio books narrated by Gerri Halligan.

I enjoyed this book, which was beautifully narrated by Gertie Halliday. Three intertwining stories are told about three very different women and their lives. Books - writing and publishing - are a central theme.

Enjoyable different perspective

I love Marián Keyes stories. Each one quite different and yet addresses issues affecting women. I also love the humour in it. Get characters too.
My only issue is that on one hand a character complains about patriarchy yet it’s OK for her, a 32 year old woman, to have a 46 year old lover but when another 32 year old woman goes out with a 28 year old man,she feels too old for him. The same man can then take a 24 year old girlfriend without any issue.

Keyes at her best

I laughed out loud at this book, but it was assisted by the superb narration. This is the first book I have read by this author, and it won’t be the last!

Superb narrator!
