bestseller, THE SILENT
WIFE

About: British author, mother of teens and owner of an
unruly Labrador/Schnauzer cross, seeks American readers for a gripping novel
about two very
different women united by the struggle of being second wives in a family
dominated by an
Italian matriarch. One woman hides a secret, the other discovers one β but will
either of them
find the courage to reveal the truth in a family held together by lies? Β Β Β
What Iβm looking for in my ideal reader match:
- Likes gritty stories about
family relationships.
- Loves irreverent,
outspoken characters who say it as they see it.
- Enjoys reading about
moral dilemmas and wondering, βWhat would I do?β
- Loves being transported
to a medieval castle in Italy for an authentic family holiday (that is, plenty
of arguments and an
interfering mother-in-law!)
- Appreciates that
marriage, step-parenting β any parenting β and integrating into a close-knit
family is not a
perfect science.
- Likes books that provoke
intense emotions but also make you laugh.
- Knows that every family
has a secret and cannot wait to discover the Farinelli skeletons in the closet.
- Doesnβt mind staying up
late to read just one more chapter to find out whether the truth ever rises to
the surface.
- Loves to champion the
underdog in the hope that one day sheβll find her courage.
- Relishes novels about
friendships and unlikely allies.

Most of what you're seeking applies to moi. As a stepparent for over 30 years with my own sons (the second batch), it's occasionally challenging, but extremely rewarding too. Family is the center of most of our lives & where we learn most of our relationship skills. Families, secrets, and moral dilemmas; right up my alley. (Ivy Truitt 1:43pm November 14, 2018)
