Women's Fiction Contemporary
From the award-winning author of You Know When the Men
are Gone comes a searing debut novel about jealousy, the
unpredictable path of friendship, and the secrets kept in
marriage. Two women far from home. One terrible
misunderstanding. Both Cassie Hugo and Margaret Brickshaw dutifully followed
their soldier husbands to the U.S. embassy in Jordan, but
that’s all the women have in common. After two years,
Cassie’s an expert on the rules, but newly arrived Margaret
sees only her chance to explore. So when a fender-bender
sends Margaret to the local police station, Cassie
reluctantly agrees to watch Margaret’s toddler son. But as
the hours pass, Cassie’s boredom and frustration turn to
fear: Why isn’t Margaret answering her phone? Soon Cassie
begins to question not only her friend’s whereabouts but
also her own role in Margaret’s disappearance. Set within the U.S. expat community of the Middle East
during the rise of the Arab Spring, The Confusion of
Languages plunges readers into a shattering collision
between two women and two worlds, affirming Siobhan Fallon
as a powerful voice in American fiction and a storyteller
not to be missed.
