Those Other Women: A Novel - Softcover

Nicola Moriarty weaves another stunning domestic novel in this story of working women whose Facebook group, designed to forge connection and solidarity among childless women, quickly descends into something much more sinister.

Reeling from deceptions involving the people she loves, Poppy feels as if her world has tipped sideways. Maybe her colleague, Annalise, is right—Poppy needs to let loose and blow off some steam. What better way to vent than social media? With Annalise, she creates a private Facebook group that quickly takes off. Suddenly, Poppy feels like she’s back in control.

Feeling judged by disapproving female colleagues and her own disappointed children, Frankie, too, is careening towards a breaking point. She also knows something about her boss—sensitive knowledge that she feels guilty holding back.

As things begin to slide disastrously out of control, carefully con-cealed secrets and lies are exposed with devastating consequences—forcing these women to face painful truths about their lives and the things they do to survive.
