How do they cope if he has also left behind an estranged first wife and a son, both of whom has had no contact with him ever since he left them 25 years ago?
Two surviving women. One legally married with a son and one a live-in partner with three daughters. How will these two differing families come together to resolve their grief, betrayals, heartaches, resentments, relationships, changes and challenges in their lives and last but not least, the elusive inheritance will?
Trollope is well-known for writing stories about the trials and tribulations of the modern, middle class family. The Other Family, her 15th book, is no different. Overall, it is acutely written in terms of social and psychological points of view. If you are a fan of Trollope, do read it. It is more a woman's book than a man's.
