Books like The other half by Sarah Rayner
Chloe, bright and hip, is a feature writer aspiring to launch her own magazine. When she meets James, her potential new boss, she knows she should keep business and pleasure separate, yet finds it impossible to resist.
Maggie appears to have it all: beauty, talent, and a charming husband who works late into the night as a magazine publisher, sometimes disappearing altogether. Told in alternating voices from the mistress and the wife, the novel is a sharp, seductive look at contemporary love and the complexities of modern relationships.
Together, Chloe and Maggie’s stories examine the ethical questions and personal consequences of modern affairs, inviting readers to consider who, if anyone, emerges unscathed.
