From the superb storyteller and quintessential women's fiction author Joanna Trollope comes a moving and wonderfully observed new novel about two families who must confront love and loss as an inheritance hangs in the balance.

The trouble with dying is that you're not around anymore to explain what you meant to the people who love you...


Richie Rossiter, a crooner and piano man still popular with his loyal fans, is anyone's idea of a lucky man. In his forties, he abandoned his first wife and son in Newcastle for a young woman who believed she could bring him stardom in the south. Not only does Chrissie rejuvenate his career, she gives him twenty-three years of happy domestic life and three lovely daughters.

But then he dies suddenly, and at his funeral Chrissie and her daughters cross paths with Richie's other family for the very first time. And the uneasy truce that has held over the years between Richie's past and his present loves breaks down into open animosities, fanned by certain bequests he has made and certain secret loyalties he has kept. Grief, loss, jealousy and love rewrite the relationships of both families in ways Richie never could have imagined.
From the Hardcover edition.

Recensione:
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
 
“A sensitive and entertaining novel. . . . Once again with The Other Family, Trollope delves into ordinary life and reveals its uniqueness and humanity.”
The Vancouver Sun
 
“May just be Trollope’s best work yet.”
The Chronicle-Herald
 
“She writes as observantly as ever. There are always those brilliant brief glimpses of some detail which ring wonderfully true and pinpoint a person or a place exactly.”
— Susan Hill, Spectator
 
“Trollope is a diligent researcher and a thorough technician – two admirable qualities in a novelist. She understands how the framework of fiction should be made, and her novels are excellent as a result. . . . A satisfying, well-constructed novel.”
Daily Telegraph
 
“Trollope is brilliant at swooping on a modern dilemma and showing it from every angle. . . .  Inventive, surprising and fascinating.”
The Times

Praise for Joanna Trollope:
"As subtle as Austen, as sharp as Bronte, Trollope's brilliant!"
Mail on Sunday

"Trollope...reminds us why so many women love her: she is absolutely brilliant at writing about men."
Daily Telegraph 
 
“Trollope is brilliant at swooping on a modern dilemma and showing it from every angle. . . . Inventive, surprising and fascinating.”
The Times

“A writer at the height of her powers.” 
Women’s Journal

“Joanna has held up a mirror to millions of women around the world, and they’ve seen themselves, their lives, their relationships and their desires staring back.”
Good Housekeeping

“Every Trollope has its fascinating moral wrinkle. She has a glorious instinct for sensing which emotional conundrums her readers will find most palatably perplexing. And then she writes so beautifully.”
Evening Standard

“Simply reach for any novel by Joanna Trollope: To do so is to put your finger on the very pulse of Western Civilization — its passions, its concerns, its trends.”
— The Globe and Mail
 
“We grow attached to her characters whose weaknesses — and triumphs — are our own.”
— The Gazette
