The Other Hoffmann Sister has been reviewed in The Independent, with Jeff Robson describing the book as: "a richly accomplished work with a fascinating central character. And like the best historical novelists, Fergusson combines the ability both to bring the past to life with grippingly immediate vignettes, and use it to illustrate themes such as betrayal, prejudice and the deceptive nature of memory, which remain universal."

It was also included in The Independent's '10 Best Bookclub Reads': "
The evocative setting and the quick-paced plot takes the reader on a whirlwind tour through South Africa, to Berlin and back again."
