Women's Fiction, Historical
Paula Wall, the national bestselling author of The
Rock Orchard,
returns with another witty, wise, and romantic tale of two
sisters with
a talent for seduction and the unfortunate habit of falling
for the
wrong man every time. The Wilde sisters dove headfirst
into this
world on fire with life and expectation. With hair black as
midnight
and eyes blazing blue, they grow into truly irresistible
women. But as
well as being blessed with beauty and determination, the
Wilde sisters
are cursed with equal tastes for mischief and bad men. And
both of
these appetites always lead to trouble. Love either lifts a
woman up or
drags her down. When a Wilde woman dies, they don't have to
dig a hole. On
Black Friday in Five Points, Tennessee, Pearl Wilde finds
her sister,
Kat, in the barn wearing both her favorite shoes and her
fiancé. As
quick to fury as she is to passion, Pearl leaves town
immediately. She
returns five years later a sophisticated femme fatale, with
her claws
sharpened like stainless steel and a demeanor so cool that the
townspeople can no longer tell if she even has sweat glands.
Slowly and
deliberately, Pearl begins her revenge on Kat by captivating
all the
men of Five Points, but all the while never forgetting the
one man who
had the power to break her heart. In The Wilde
Women,
Paula Wall once again bewitches the reader with humor, sass,
smarts,
and sensuality, creating a hilarious and beguiling world where
sometimes the best revenge is forgiveness.
