Summary
You only get one life - but what if it isn’t the one you were meant to live?
‘When it finally arrived I was shocked to see it; to read the words Mum wrote about these women fighting for rights I know I take for granted. Mum was here. And while she was, something happened that changed the entire course of my life.
Perhaps, if I can summon the courage, the next eight weeks will help me finally figure out what that was....’
When Jessica, a young British woman, discovers a shocking secret about her birth she travels to Switzerland in search of answers. She knows her mother spent time in the country writing an article on the Swiss women’s rights movement, but what she doesn’t know is what happened to her while she was there. Can Jess summon the courage to face the truth about her family, or will her search only hurt herself and those around her even more?
Set across a stunning Swiss backdrop, The Other Daughter follows one woman in her search for the truth about her birth, and another desperately trying to succeed in a man’s world. Perfect for fans of Tracy Rees, Elizabeth Noble and Kathryn Hughes.

Complex but rewarding dual timeline
An excellent education on Swiss emancipation, geography and culture seen from the 70’sand 2016.
A mix up of monumental proportions takes a tremendous amount of untangling which sometimes befuddles and seems bizarre. Possible coincidences are too much to swallow and one’s patience is tested. An apparent selfish self-centred person ends up being shown to have hidden depths of kindness and tolerance. Impressive writing but sometimes hard to follow at first. A rewarding listen that has a lot to teach us.
