Meet: Gayle Beck, the matriarch of Hunting Ridge society, who struggles to reconcile her picture-perfect life with a numbing sense of unfulfilment; Love Welsh, adoring mother, who battles with memories of a childhood lived in the shadow of a genius father; Marie Passeti, over-stretched divorce lawyer and mother, who has lost her passion for life and for her husband; and Janie Kirk, yummy mummy, whose quest for acceptance knows no bounds.

In a world where happiness comes second to appearances, their domestic discontent spirals into an irreversible course of risk-taking, secrecy and self-destruction. For these four wives perfection is just a faηade and behind closed doors infidelity, self-doubt and deceit run rife.

Reviews

Acutely well observed and suspenseful ... a stunning reflection of life in an affluent American suburb, where the women seem to have everything ... except happiness. A great read. -- Jane Green, author of * Life Swap * A cleverly woven, sexy debut that is a fascinating peek inside the gilded cages of suburban matrimony ... A true page-turner treat. -- Jill Kargman, author of * Momzillas * A fascinating read. Wendy Walker delivers a blistering dissection of modern suburban marriage. I couldn't put it down. -- Danielle Ganek, author of * Lulu Meets God and Doubts Him * Walker's first novel is a treat. It's well written and features great characters, lots of humor, and dead-on analysis of friendship, marriage, and motherhood. * Library Journal *
