Sara wonders whether she is suffering from a mid life crisis whereas her husband- Conrad - is determined not to grow any older as his 70th birthday approaches. The story follows Sara and Conrad and their two daughters, Cassandra and Pandora as they battle with life and its problems. Judy Astley creates interesting characters with issues all her readers will be able to relate to. Is Conrad really thinking seriously about ending it all? Will Sara step off the straight and narrow with the fanciable Ben? Can Cassandra and Paul get back together? What about Pandora? Then there's Sara's sister Lizzie who comes to stay. There's always something happening to keep you interested. I loved the ending - which wraps up the whole thing in a very satisfying manner. I enjoyed it and would recommend it as a good holiday read.

Judy Astley writes about issues we can all relate to, and her latest book, 'Other People's Husbands', is no exception. This book is a light, enjoyable read. We meet Sara and Conrad who are both at crisis point, and who have to deal with their issues separately. We also meet their two daughters, Cass and Panda, along with some other family and friends. All the characters are likeable, and Sara is someone to whom you can really warm to, as well as relate to. Conrad is very humourous. Themes such as love, growing old, extra-marital affairs, being a parent/grandparent are all covered. Art also features, which adds an interesting dimension. There is a lot of insightful description. The ending leaves you feeling satisfied.

Judy Astley's Other People's Husbands goes where other books fear to. She writes about life as it is, but with an insight most of us living life usually miss. This book is funny, full of scary insight and makes you cry, just a bit. Perfect.
