With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Tim Middleton, Head of English
Studies, University of Ripon and York. In seeking to discover his
inner self, the brilliant Dr Jekyll discovers a monster. First
published to critical acclaim in 1886, this mesmerising thriller is
a terrifying study of the duality of man's nature, and it is the
book which established Stevenson's reputation as a writer. Also
included in this volume is Stevenson's 1887 collection of short
stories, The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables. The Merry Men is
a gripping Highland tale of shipwrecks and madness; Markheim, the
sinister study of the mind of a murderer; Thrawn Janet, a
spine-chilling tale of demonic possession; Olalla, a study of
degeneration and incipient vampirism in the Spanish mountains; Will
O' the Mill, a thought-provoking fable about a mountain inn-keeper;
and The Treasure of Franchard, a study of French bourgeois life.

Susan ‘Zuzu’ Braeburn is almost forty. She has the life she’s always
dreamed of – a beautiful house, a child, a successful partner. But
something between her and Agnes has been off for a long time, and she
can’t help but wonder ‘what if’.
What if she had chosen to live with her father instead of her mother
after their divorce? To pursue art over law? And, most importantly, to
pursue her feelings for her male best friend from college, Cash,
instead of marrying Agnes?
When an unexpected loss takes her back to her hometown, over a single
wintery weekend, the questions in Zuzu’s mind become too loud to
ignore. She grapples with the choices she’s made and the knowledge that
she doesn’t have infinite time to make changes in her life.
The Other Wife speaks to unfulfilled desires and the euphoric nostalgia
that’s particular to the beginning of middle age; it is heartfelt and
daring in its reckoning with the quest for joy.
