Fay Weldon called Joanna Trollope’s work ‘subtle as Austen, as sharp as Bronte’. Her new novel, The Other Family, tells the story of Chrissie, happy with Richie and their children for 23 years, but never married to him as he was married before and had a family elsewhere. On his death, Richie’s other family re-emerge and old resentments begin to jostle with the practicalities of living and the pursuit of happiness. Beautifully written, Trollope provides insight into the lives of people and puts up a mirror to our own lives.
