Título: Other Women
Autor: Emma Flint
Sinopse: A husband. A wife. A lover. Each has a secret they’d kill to protect . . . From the author of Little Deaths, shortlisted for the Bailey’s Women’s Prize for Fiction, comes the sensational Other Women. Mesmerising, haunting and utterly remarkable, Other Women is inspired by a murder that took place almost a hundred years ago. A devastating story of fantasy, obsession, and ultimately the lengths we will go to in order to save the ones we love. Six years after the end of the Great War, the country is still in mourning. Thousands of husbands, fathers, sons and sweethearts were lost forever, and the sea of women they left behind must carry on without them. But Beatrice Cade is not a wife, not a widow, not a mother. There are thousands of other women like her: nameless and invisible. Determined to carve out a richer and more fulfilling life for herself, Bea takes a job in the City and a room in a Bloomsbury ladies’ club. Then a fleeting encounter changes everything. Her emerging independence is destroyed when she falls in love for the first time. Kate Ryan is a wife, a mother, and an accomplished liar. She has managed to build an enviable life with her husband and young daughter. To anyone looking in from the outside, they seem like a normal, happy family. On the south coast of England, an anguished moment between lovers becomes a horrific murder. And two women who should never have met are connected forever. Mesmerising, haunting and utterly remarkable, Other Women is inspired by a murder that took place almost a hundred years ago. A devastating story of fantasy, obsession, and ultimately the lengths we will go to in order to save the ones we love.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora PAN MACMILLAN apresentam uma experiência de leitura marcada por narrativas que transitam entre o suspense psicológico, thrillers investigativos e dramas humanos densos, com um tom que varia do tenso ao reflexivo. O catálogo sugere um equilíbrio entre histórias mais narrativas, como dramas familiares e romances contemporâneos, e obras mais informativas ou de não ficção, que abordam temas como jardinagem sustentável e relatos de memórias impactantes. O ritmo das obras pode ser tanto acelerado e cheio de reviravoltas quanto pausado e introspectivo, com personagens complexos e conflitos morais que envolvem desde investigações criminais até dilemas pessoais e históricos.
