I loved the story-telling voice behind this intriguing domestic drama which takes you to the heart of its characters. Intelligently written.' Jane Corry, author of The Lies We Tell She said: "I started working on Alba's life because Zola Books was issuing the ebook for [Time Traveler’s Wife] and they asked for an 'extra'. Then I got a bit obsessed with her, and decided to keep working on it. The sequel is about Alba, mostly Alba as an adult. It's about her relationships (she is married to two very different men) and her family life and her struggles with making music. Niffenegger believes that changes in generational experiences and attitudes between that era and now might also be fueling the negative reactions. “People are very focused on child abuse these days; what was seen as no big deal in the 1980s is now seen as neglect. In the novel, Clare was born in 1972. Steven [Moffat] has brought the whole timeline forward by 20 years. A child of the early 2000s would have been more watched over.” “People seem to want to jump up and down on this version with cleats” Abby doesn’t know it, but she’s less than twenty-four hours away from meeting Sienna Wells.

What’s going on?’ Niffenegger credits writer/director Moffat with capturing the spirit of her book despite taking a few liberties with the adaptation. She said they had been in touch for years, after someone pointed out that a Moffat-penned episode of Doctor Who called “The Girl in the Fireplace” played like an homage to The Time Traveler’s Wife. Niffenegger returned the favor with an easter egg in her second novel, Her Fearful Symmetry.The Other Husband by Kathryn Croft is without a doubt the optimal example of be careful what you wish for there are no free rides. This book had me guessing right up until the very last chapter ... I couldn’t put it down. A perfect thriller!’ NetGalley review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Marty is a cardiothoracic surgeon and Greg’s closest friend at work. She had no idea what cardiothoracic meant when she first applied for a job at St.Thomas’, but she’d made sure she did her research, spending hours filling herself up with medical information that wouldn’t ever come up in the interview. Although she’d had plenty of admin experience, none of it was in the medical field, so she needed an advantage to make her interviewers believe she was the only person for the job. It was never intended to be a career, just something interesting to delve into while she waited for inspiration to hit. I wish someone could have slapped her... So intense like Greg said. No wonders he never confided in her!
