Greenwich Park was an enjoyable, twisty novel and the first that I read by this author. Here again, in The Other Mothers, Faulkner successfully creates characters, a setting, and a suspenseful plot. The pages just turn and I was constantly wanting to know what answers might eventually be revealed.
Anyone who has ever wondered if they fit in at the school gates may have empathy for Tash. Her son is in a playgroup filled with what are generally called ‘yummy mummies.’ When she is invited into the inner circle of this gilded world Tash is uncomfortable, intrigued and curious. There are secrets here, she is sure.
Tash has been working as a freelance journalist. She becomes deeply involved in trying to learn b what led to the death of an au pair named Sophie. (Readers get to know Sophie when she was alive through her journal.) Of course, the storylines will converge. How will it all resolve?
qThis is a perfect book to read for escape. It is quite an enticing read.
