Rae's Reviews > Other People's Marriages

Other People’s Marriages by Kerry Fisher is a fantastic example of why I love what is described as heart-breaking, emotional fiction. Kerry really ‘gets’ women, writing so well about their relationships and friendships, their worries and issues. What I really enjoyed about Other People’s Marriages is that the three protagonists were women just turning sixty, portrayed in a realistic, vibrant way.

Steph, Evie and Teresa form a strong bond when their sons are toddlers, but thirteen years later a long weekend away turns sour, creating waves that will be felt decades later. The characters partake in a fair bit of introspection, but then that is what this novel is about, searching the past trying to figure out how best to go forwards. One for fans of Diane Chamberlain, Liane Moriarty and Charity Norman.
