'Each of Hannah's four accomplished novels is constructed of shiny moments captured in precise prose, which, taken out of context, make little sense even as they fascinate. It's only when you get to the end and step back that you can understand the intricate, seductive architecture of the whole. Hannah has an eye for detail that renders her fictions claustrophobically real. The Other Half Lives is a page-turning cliff-hanger, intriguing and perfectly judged.' -- Sydney Morning Herald 'The promise of the revelation is so intriguing you'll be hard pressed to put this down.' -- Western Australian 'The eternally twisting plot keeps readers hanging to the last' -- MX magazine, Sydney 'Ripples with twists and suspense, and is written with the emotional depth her readers have come to expect' -- The Age, Melbourne 'A truly gripping thriller' -- Psychologies on THE OTHER HALF LIVES 'Beautifully written, outstandingly chilling' -- Spectator Praise for Sophie Hannah's novels -- : 'For those who demand emotional intelligence and literary verve from their thrillers, Sophie Hannah is the writer of choice.' -- Guardian 'A real chiller; the clever plot will keep you hooked and guessing to the end' -- Choice on THE OTHER HALF LIVES 'A superbly creepy, twisty thriller about obsessive love, psychological torture, and the darkest chambers of the human heart' -- The Times 'Chilling, compulsive and with a genius twist' -- Elle 'Sophie Hannah's ingenious, almost surreal mysteries are so intricately constructed that it's impossible to guess how they will end.' -- Sunday Telegraph
