Description

A captivating tale of deceit, passion, and revenge set in 1920s England, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Ashford Affair.

Raised in a genteel but impoverished household, Rachel Woodley works as a governess in France when she learns of her mother's sudden death. Returning to her small hometown in England to settle affairs, she discovers a society magazine clipping with a photo of her supposedly deceased father - dated just three months prior. The earl is standing with his legitimate daughter, which makes Rachel...not legitimate. Everything she thought she knew - even her very name - is a lie.

Reeling from her mother's death and this betrayal, Rachel reinvents herself in London, determined to expose her father's perfidy and bring his charmed world crashing down. But she faces two unexpected snags: she genuinely likes her half-sister, Olivia, whose situation is more complex than it appears, and Rachel might just be falling for Olivia's fiancé... The Other Daughter is a page-turning historical novel of family secrets, love, and revenge.

  • Seriously good entertainment!

    Another great historical fiction that was both entertaining and a joy to read. Although, I seriously would have had a hard time tearing up the paper at the end just to piss off Violet. There are a lot of lies, a lot of secrets and a lot of trickery going on in this story and the author captured it perfectly. Frankly, I would have wanted to get on that ship myself and see what happens next. I really felt like I knew the characters in this book and was sad to have to say goodbye to them. It was strange how Olivia could be such a mousy thing, but I suppose all those years with her had a lot to attribute to that. If your into historical fiction or early 1900 England,this would be a great book for you to read. Thank you St.Martin's Press and Net Galley for allowing me to read this e-galley in exchange for an honest review. I WANT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT RACHAEL. Sequel, sequel, Ha!
