The Good Wife

From the author of the bestselling phenomenon Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman comes a compulsive novel about the fascinating tangle of marriage.

Fanny Savage has always been the dutiful wife. Married to Will, a politician with big ambitions, her life is a whirlwind of public engagements and loyalty to the party, a position that requires her to look good and remain silent. But Fanny is no fool. She's well aware that the world outside her privileged home is one that seethes with despair and danger, division and lack of faith, and how fragile happiness can be. After twenty years of marriage and self-sacrifice, she begins to question her own concepts of happiness. Was being the Good Wife worth it after all?
