A few weeks ago Brook Cottage Books was lucky enough to have coordinated a book tour for The Other Side of Town by Eleanor Smythe. Well, since that tour the book has had a makeover! It now has a sparkly new cover. Hope you like it!
Maureen and Karina had been friends since
childhood. However, due to betrayal and grief their lives have taken on very
different paths. The Other Side of Town tells the story of the two families,
brought together by tragedy.
Maureen marries John Evans and they soon have their
fair share of misfortune. An accident at work impacts on their lives, forcing
them to sell their home and move into social housing and a completely different
lifestyle. Maureen soon has to find work with a multinational IT company called
Millbrooks. Tragedy soon finds them again and their life is consumed with grief
while trying to find justice. Amidst all this, Maureen befriends a woman called
Judith and although she has a chequered past, Judith brings a sense of humour
and friendship into their lives.
Karina marries Rupert Millbrook, whose family span
generations and are so influential that the town is named after them. Karina
soon discovers that once you marry a Millbrook, you marry the family and its
history. Karina soon becomes Managing Director of Millbrook's IT and Maureen’s
boss. However, Karina’s life is not without its own difficulties and she soon
finds herself struggling with her teenage children and the issues they bring.
Rupert has his own problems. A criminal investigation, lead by Inspector
Hennessy who is on a special assignment from London, reveals links between
Rupert's business deals and a known international criminal, Yakov Volkov.
