Title: life mimicking art
Review: In Ireland, Gemma Hogan's Dad leaves his 35 year marriage to shack up with his secretary, & her Mam falls apart. Gemma harbors a lot of rage: at Mam for being so helpless, with her Dad for running away & with her bestfriend for stealing her man. & now Lily is a bestselling author.Lily Wright is haunted by stealing Anton from Gemma. Now she's in London, struggling with poverty & motherhood until she sits down one day & writes a good book.Jojo Harvey, ex-New York copper & now a London literary agent, takes Lily's book & runs with it...straight to the bank & the bestseller lists.Rebeccasreads recommends THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY as a cross between a comedy & a tear-jerker with often infuriating episodes as each woman stumbles over obstacles to happiness as they grasp the brass rings of fame, make & lose fortunes, love & lose relationships. Lots of ribald language, sex, booze & mishaps, with womanly drama & danger galore...& neatly done resolutions!A rollicking good read!
