Product Description

Product Description
Ellie and Dan are living proof that opposites attract. He always follows instructions and she throws the manual away. He loves sports whereas Ellie’s allergic to any form of exercise. Ellie doesn’t have a mother. And Dan does - a mother who wants to take over… EVERYTHING. At first Ellie is thrilled to have Linda as her ‘adopted’mother and to be a part of the close, loving Cooper family. But when she and Dan decide to get married and wedding plans progress, she starts to wonder: is it normal for Linda and Dan to speak on the phone twice a day? How on earth do they come to be having a reception with Chilean bloody seabass and humongous bloody white ribbons tied everywhere when all she wanted was a quiet registry office? In fact, is she marrying Dan…OR HIS MOTHER? And Ellie’s problems have just begun. When she discovers she’s pregnant she realises that Linda’s only been rehearsing for the real takeover. She seems to want to live her life through Ellie and in the words of the immortal Princess Diana, there are three of them in the marriage…

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, 5 April 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: The Other Woman (Hardcover)
The Other Woman is a fantastic character driven novel. All of the main and supporting characters are convincing - Ellie Black is a superb focus character. There have been a lot of strong female leads in novels this year ( Jo Jo Harvey; Marian Keyes - The Other Side Of The Story: Emma Corrigan; Sophie Kinsella - Irrespressible Spirit: Elsie Roundbottom; Steve Horsfall - You Are Here). Add Ellie to the growing list - long may it continue

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Time, 13 Aug 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Other Woman (Hardcover)
I found this book extremely disappointing. The 'heroine' Ellie is possibly the mosty moany, self-engrossed and spoilt character I have ever come across. The 'hero' Dan was so wet I wanted to wring him out! There is no plot, the novel is a rambling story akin to one your drunken mate might relate in a pub on Saturday night. As a single mum I was outraged by the patronising portrayal of single mums.Apparently we are either man-eating , selfish vamps (believe me Jane, we don't have the time) or "failures". I think this book is smug, artifical and insulting to readers intelligence. Don't waste your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a read!, 14 Feb 2006
By A Customer
Simply brilliant! I couldn't put this down & was hooked from the moment I started reading it. Having been disappointed with Jane Green's last 2 novels, this one certainly didn't disappoint.

Jane's observation of Ellie's relationship with her husband and mother in law was spot on. Her description of life after having a baby really rang true - fantastic - one of her best books without a doubt.
