Jane Green”s bestselling novels are rich with wry, clever insights into the romantic lives of her idiosyncratic heroines, winning them a devoted fan base.
If opposites attract, Ellie Dan are perfect for each other. She”s impulsive; he follows all the rules. Ellie is a virtual orphan, whereas Dan”s family is as close-knit as they come. At first, Ellie is thrilled to be accepted into the Cooper clan and embraces Dan”s mom, Linda, as the mother she never had-until she beings to realize that Linda”s “mothering” is far more intrusive than even the best daughter-in-law can handle. What can Dan and this mother possibly have to talk about on the phone twice a day? And how has the intimate civil ceremony Ellie always dreamed of turned into a black-tie affair that would rival a royal wedding? Suddenly, Ellie finds herself wondering if it”s possible to get an annulment-from Linda.
A hilarious yet touching look at mothers-in-law and what they teach us about ourselves, The Other Woman is a brilliant hit from a novelist whose star just continues to rise.
