'A fresh, original, passionate and page-turning story about women's
choices and past secrets that demands to be read' Rachel Hore,
author of The Love Child You only get one life - but what if it
isn't the one you were meant to live? 'When it finally arrived I
was shocked to see it; to read the words Mum wrote about these
women fighting for rights I know I take for granted. Mum was here.
And while she was, something happened that changed the entire
course of my life. Perhaps, if I can summon the courage, the next
eight weeks will help me finally figure out what that was . . .'
When Jessica discovers a shocking secret about her birth, she
leaves her London home and travels to Switzerland in search of
answers. She knows her journalist mother spent time in the country
forty years earlier, reporting on the Swiss women's liberation
movement, but what she doesn't know is what happened to her while
she was there. Can Jess summon the courage to face the truth about
her family, or will her search only hurt herself and those around
her even more? Set across a stunning Swiss backdrop, The Other
Daughter follows one woman in her search for the truth about her
birth, and another desperately trying to succeed in a man's world.
Perfect for fans of Tracy Rees, Elizabeth Noble and Kathryn Hughes.
'Fascinating and fast-paced, The Other Daughter had me hooked from
the start. A timely reminder of how hard it is to succeed in a
man's world' Rosanna Ley, author of From Venice with Love 'Well
written and pacy. Full of gorgeous scenery, emotion and SUCH
fascinating stuff about women's rights through the decades' Tracy
Rees, author of The House at Silvermoor 'A tightly plotted and
absorbing tale of one woman's journey to uncover the secrets of her
birth. It beautifully fuses the personal and the political in its
exploration of motherhood and women's rights, as Jess tries to
reconcile herself to her own choices, and the choices made by those
who came before her' Beth Morrey, author of Saving Missy 'A
gripping and emotional story' Patricia Wilson, author of Greek
Island Escape 'I couldn't put it down. I felt totally drawn into
the story and invested in the characters. It took me into areas of
Swiss history that I knew nothing about, but I felt like I was
living it with the characters, not being given a history lesson.
It's also the most beautiful portrait of mother-daughter
relationships' Caroline Scott, author of The Photographer of the
Lost 'A fascinating and beautifully told exploration of women's
rights and one woman's fight to uncover the secrets of her birth.
The Other Daughter is a stunning debut I loved it' Clare Empson,
author of Mine
