The Other Mrs Jordan: A True Story of Bigamy and Betrayal

An Utterly Compelling Read.

This book is wonderfully written and so absolutely absorbing that I was swept up in the madness of it from the very first page to the last. I wanted it to be the love story that the author was living, but between these lines is a very powerful message that every one should heed. Mary Turner Thompson's ability to tell her story as it was for her at the time of living through it, is paramount to the readers ability to believe in Will, and even like him at times, even though we know what he is. And there in lies the success of this book. I thought the portrayal of character was brilliant and the message of how one woman overcame such an ordeal and confronted not only her own self worth but also the man she no longer recognised was uplifting. It's not only a story about the ability to believe in love and be blindsided by its power but also its a story about human spirit and the strength that we all harbour within us.
