Eliza Bennet has the life she has always dreamed of. She is who she wants to be, and she is with the man she loves.

But Eliza is living a lie. Her real name is Klaudia Myer. And Klaudia is on the run. She is escaping her old life, and a terrible secret buried at the heart of her family.

This is the story of Eliza and Klaudia: two women, two lives, and one lie they cannot hide from.

In The Other Me, Saskia Sarginson hypnotically examines whether our identities are tied to where we’ve come from, in a captivating mystery that shows how sometimes history doesn’t tell the true story.

Praise for The Other Me

“Part coming-of-age story, part consuming family history, and part gripping mystery, The Other Me deftly moves between WWII Germany and London, nearly half a century later, until the story-lines collide. This enthralling read will keep you up long into the night.”—Ruth Ware, The New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in Cabin 10

“There are some books which are so compelling, the plots so engaging and the writing so perfectly paced and accessible that simply captivate the reader, and this for me was one such book . . . Tragic, haunting and affecting, it’s a truly immersive emotional experience and a read that you’ll want to share and discuss.”We Love This Book (UK)
