Praise for The Other Family…

“A heartwarming story of renewal and hope…intelligent and moving.”

--Booklist

"Brimming with wisdom, wit, and humanity, The Other Family is a sumptuous feast of a novel. Joanna Trollope creates an impeccably observed world, exploring the vagaries of love and family ties with such honest grace that I was left sweetly aching for more."

--Connie May Fowler, author of How Clarissa Burden Learned to Fly

“Joanna Trollope’s wise understanding shows that the jigsaw puzzle of relationships in contemporary life can be fitted together in new and more humane ways. She illumines human folly and offers a much needed vision of healing.”

--Sena Jeter Naslund, author of Ahab’s Wife and Four Spirits

“[Trollope writes] something we see all too rarely these days: a genuinely grown-up work of fiction.”

—Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post

“[Trollope] aims for the heart…and she hits it.”

—The New Yorker

“She can be as subtle as Austen, as sharp as Bronte. Trollope’s brilliant.”

—Fay Weldon, Mail on Sunday
