Summary
Alice has been lying to herself for years, holding fast to the belief that the needs of her family far outweigh her own. But her outwardly successful marriage hides dark secrets, and for much of her life the children were the only reason she stuck around.
These days, though her successful banker son lives nearby, his young wife seems to do everything she can to keep Alice at bay. As for Alice's other son, he has always been something of a stranger and has been traveling for so long that Alice isn't even sure what continent he is on anymore.
Alice can't help but wonder if the effort she expends presenting a united front to the outside world is actually helping anyone and what would happen if she suddenly stopped pretending. Could life, like the novels she devours, hold surprises in its closing chapters? And if she did shake everything up by admitting the truth about her marriage, would anyone be on her side? Has the time finally come for Alice to put her own needs first?
For the first time in years, her heart is racing. Can Alice really change her life? Dare she even imagine such a thing?

Worth the time
Where does The Other Son rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I liked this book and didn't find it to be a waste of my time. It kept my attention and the narration did not bother me thereby taking away from the story.
What other book might you compare The Other Son to, and why?
I would not know what to compare this book to but it is a book that was written well enough that it did not need 'twists' or surprises to carry it.
Have you listened to any of Imogen Church’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I did look for her other performances and shall buy some books when I see one I think I shall like. She has a lovely voice and accent.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I don't know what a 'tag' line is.
Any additional comments?
I totally enjoyed this book and it's narrator and I am quite picky. It is not one of these cheap, quickly written and sold for 99p books that are all advertising.

A woman's life
From the beginning I wanted the wife to leave her husband, but listening to reality interviews I understand how difficult this is to do and therefore I had empathy with her

Good listen
This was the first time I had listened to this author, thoroughly enjoyed the story and the narrator was excellent. My usual genre is murder mystery, however this kept me captivated and will listen to more from Nick Alexander

Great story
After a bit of difficulty getting into this book I really enjoyed it. I would love it if there was a sequel as I felt that there was still a lot to tell.

Story is slow, but narrator is great!
Usually I love Nick Alexander books but this was slow going - you couldn't tell really what the story was and where it was going. Imogen Church does a great job with accents and pace, which helped!
