From the author of Little Deaths, longlisted for the Bailey?s Women?s Prize for Fiction, comes Other Women. London, 1923. Having reached the end of a war and the loss of so many of its men, the country is reeling. In a quiet Ladies? Club at the heart of Bloomsbury, a woman mourns her brother, George, and the life he could have led, while she comes to terms with the smallness of her own. Beatrice Cade isn?t married. She doesn?t have children. She is one of the other women. One day, grappling with the mundanity of her life and the harsh glares of her much younger, much prettier co-workers, Bea is greeted by someone new. Tom Ryan is unlike anyone she has ever met; he has even taken an interest in her. Kate is a mother of one, a devoted wife and a good liar. When she gets a knock at the door from a policeman, she knows what she has to do . . .
