• This novel is pure magic. Gill writes with compassion for her characters, with great knowledge of her eras, and with a clear love of subject. This has bestseller written all over it. And it deserves to soar

  Rosanna Ley

• In this fascinating portrayal of two of history’s most famous women, Gill Paul takes us behind the scenes of lives and events we think we know well … and challenges us to think again. With a pacy narrative that moves between the coming-of-age of a young woman called Wallis in the early 20th century, and the death of Princess Diana in 1997, Another Woman’s Husband is a vivid study of Wallis and Diana through two very different lenses: those of Wallis’s best friend, Mary, and of a young woman unwittingly caught up in the events surrounding Diana’s tragic death. With superb story-telling and a lush backdrop of period detail, Paul crafts a novel that is impossible to put down, about two women who are impossible to forget. Sure to be a huge success, I loved it!
