Women's Fiction Contemporary
Ponce Morris is a beautiful, rich widow who’s known as “the
spare wife” because she’s the perfect companion to the
wealthy, powerful, New York couples in her elite social
circle. She throws elegant dinner parties, goes to sports
events with the husbands, and shops with the wives. She’s
both flawlessly appropriate and coolly
nonthreatening—everyone knows Ponce doesn’t have a romantic
bone in her body. Over the years, she has managed other
people’s lives—and her own—perfectly. Then Babette Seele, an
ambitious, aspiring journalist, discovers that Ponce is
having an affair with a socially prominent, very married
man, and decides to break the scandal, turning Ponce’s
carefully calibrated world upside down. Witchel’s
sophisticated, witty, sexy satire provides a fascinating
glimpse into the lives and loves of upper-class New Yorkers,
sharply exposing the foibles of the fabulous.
