Other People's Marriages

By: Caroline Finnerty

Narrated by: Christina Bennington, Caroline Lennon

Two couples. Four sides of the story. A hundred ways to break their families apart

Every Tuesday night, two couples see the same therapist for marriage counselling. At 8pm, as Liv and Jay are leaving their session, they see Maya and Hugo waiting to go in.

When their young boys start at the same school, things are initially awkward, but as the women get to know one another, they become friends, sharing the fractures in their respective marriages. Soon, they are confiding their deepest secrets.

Then Liv and Jay’s son comes home from school upset, saying that Maya and Hugo’s son is bullying him. There’s no choice but to confront the issue, but what should be a civil conversation between grown-ups soon takes a turn. As the delicate threads holding their relationships together start to unravel, they are all left to question the foundations that both their marriages and friendships have been built on.

Who is telling the truth? Who is lying, to themselves and the others? And with so much at stake, who will ultimately pay the price?

An absorbing, thought-provoking story of marriage, parenthood, innocence and guilt
