Those Other Women
Autor Nicola Moriartyen Limba Engleză Carte – 3 mai 2018
From the author ofThe Fifth Lettercomes a controversial and darkly comic story about the frustrations of being a childless woman in the modern baby-obsessed world . . .
Poppy's world has been tipped sideways: the husband who never wanted children has betrayed her with her broody best friend.
At least Annalise is on her side. Her new friend is determined to celebrate their freedom from kids, so together they create a Facebook group to meet up with like-minded women, and perhaps vent just alittleabout smug mummies' privileges at work.
Meanwhile Frankie would love a night out, away from her darlings - she's not had one this decade and she's heartily sick of being judged by women at the officeandstay-at-home mums.
Then Poppy and Annalise's group takes off and frustrated members start confronting mums like Frankie in the real world. Cafés become battlegrounds, playgrounds become warzones and offices have never been so divided.
A rivalry that was once harmless fun is spiralling out of control.
Because one of their members is a wolf in sheep's clothing. And she has an agenda of her own . . .

Textul de pe ultima copertă
From the author of The Fifth Letter comes this compelling story about the uneasy relationships between women, the choices they make, and how their failed attempts to keep their secrets can have devastating consequences in every facet of their lives . . .
When Poppy’s husband deals her the ultimate betrayal—leaving her for her best friend—she’s hurt beyond words. How is she supposed to pick up the shattered pieces and go on?
Her colleague Annalise thinks Poppy needs to release her pent-up anger. And what better way to do that than vent on social media? With Annalise, Poppy creates a private Facebook group for women, just like her, who have gripes to air. Much to her surprise, the group takes off—and with its success, she feels an adrenaline rush as she’s finally back in control. But when someone leaks the group’s private posts, Poppy’s confidence quickly deflates in the aftermath of the vicious backlash her Facebook posts have created. Now everyone—including her disapproving female colleagues and Poppy’s own disappointed children—are judging her. To make matters worse, she’s come across sensitive information about her boss and feels guilty keeping this knowledge to herself.
As circumstances slide out of control, Poppy and the women surrounding her must confront the painful truths about their lives and learn the most painful lesson of all—the secrets they think are protecting them and those they love can have the power to completely unravel their worlds.
