About this title

Review:

Praise for Other People's Rules:

'A clever story, a really good read' Rosamunde Pilcher

'First class story-telling. Other People's Rules is the best novel I've read since Captain Corelli's Mandolin... A really excellent novel.' Anne Weale

'A compelling thriller written about power and the way it can be abused.' Carla McKay, Daily Mail

'A real page turner.' Prima

'There's something deliciously Brideshead about this account of a naïve young girl, falling in thrall to the aristocratic family she becomes briefly part of.' Daily Express

Praise for her writing:

‘A writer of the first rank – she is compellingly readable’ Evening Standard

‘A subtle pen and a belief in the affirmation of love’
Elizabeth Buchan, Mail on Sunday

‘A thoughtful, warm, articulate novelist’ Helen Dunmore, The Times

From the Back Cover:

Glamorous, rich and rife with secret scandal, the clannish Macarthur family, rarely out of the glossy pages of every high society magazine, reigns over Edinburgh's wealthy New Town. But as the formidable family patriarch, Jack Macarthur, lies on his deathbed in the Edinburgh family seat, it emerges that one of the clan has broken the strict code of silence... And while stories of mistresses, illegitimate children, homosexuality and sadomasochism break in the press, the beautiful Marianne Maclean – broken down by a destructive affair with Luke Macarthur – and his handsome cousin Ben Macarthur, the only man Marianne had ever loved, find themselves swept up in the tide together...

Deliciously scandalous, intelligent and compulsively page-turning, this quality saga will delight readers of Rosamunde Pilcher and Penny Vincenzi.
