Writes: Contemporary womenโs fiction for women whoโve
lived long enough not to expect the fairytale. The paperback of the ebook
bestseller, THE SILENT
WIFE
hits the shelves on 13 November 2018.
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 โ but will
either of them
find the courage to reveal the truth in a family held together by lies? ย ย ย
What Iโm 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, โWhat would I do?โ
- 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 โ any parenting โ 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.
- Doesnโt 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 sheโll find her courage.
- Relishes novels about
friendships and unlikely allies.

A heart-wrenching, emotionally gripping read for fans of Liane Moriarty
and Diane Chamberlain
Laraโs life looks perfect on the surfaceโgorgeous doting husband,
Massimo; sweet little son, Sandro; and the perfect home. But Lara
knows something about Massimo. Something she canโt tell anyone else,
or everything he has worked so hard for will be destroyed: his job, their
reputation, their son. This secret is keeping Lara a prisoner in her
marriage.
Maggie is married to Massimoโs brother, Nico, and lives with him and
her troubled stepdaughter. She knows all of Nicoโs darkest secretsโor
so she thinks. Then one day she discovers a letter in the attic that
reveals a shocking secret about Nicoโs first wife. Will Maggie set the
record straight or keep silent to protect those she loves?
For a family held together by lies, the truth will come at a devastating
price.

Lies are not good. They always come out. I loved the
post. Great thing to look for in a reader.
(Debra Guyette 6:35am November 14, 2018)
Looks like a really good read - interesting with some twists
and turns!
(Jason Lawless 7:29am November 14, 2018)
This looks like it would be a really good book, I love books that keep you turning the pages of the book. Thank you for the chance!
(Margaret Yelton 11:15am November 14, 2018)
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)
Family secrets can keep readers engrossed in the novel.
(Susan Jang 1:44pm November 14, 2018)
It's never good to tell a lie because it always comes out
in the end.
(Linda May 2:12pm November 14, 2018)
No lies. Corrosive! But complex characters and family
problems resolved satisfactorily are just the ticket. Match!
(Kathleen Bylsma 4:18pm November 14, 2018)
This looks like a fun read with a letter opening up old
wounds and secrets better left undiscovered.
(Alyson Widen 11:27pm November 14, 2018)
this book sound so good
(Vickie Couturier 6:27am November 15, 2018)
This sounds like a great mystery - I love this type of book
(Anita Nowak 11:36am November 15, 2018)
My attention was caught the moment family secrets were mentioned. Now I want to find out about them. Thanks for offering us a chance to win a copy.
(Anna Speed 9:08pm November 15, 2018)
This sounds like one of those books I wonโt be able to put down. I gotta
have this book! Thank you for this great post and opportunity to enter for a
copy of the book!
(Shakeia Rieux 1:15am November 18, 2018)
I am always for new authors to me to try. The write up on this book puts it
right up my alley and will read it if I win or not. Looking forward to getting to
know your work.
