Other People’s Husbands

by Elizabeth Noble (£14.99, HB, Michael Joseph)

When it comes to writing about family life, Elizabeth Noble is pitch perfect, and her latest novel is no exception. In it, we meet a close group of friends, who, since meeting at the nursery gates 20 years previously, have been through the ups and downs of life together. So, when two of them cross the line and embark on an affair, the group implodes. As they all navigate their way through the fallout, can their friendships ever recover? Very relatable characters in a very real situation – a clever read indeed!
