THE HUSBAND'S SECRET is a heart wrenching story about three
women
who all find out secrets that are life altering. Three
families that will be all
drawn together after a secret is revealed. It's a heck of a
secret I might add.
First there is Cecelia. She is married to John Paul and one
day she finds a
dusty old letter addressed to her, but to only be opened in
the event of John
Paul's death. Well, John Paul is alive and well so what
should she do?
This letter drives her crazy and it totally messes up her
normal routine
because she can't stop thinking about what the letter might
say.
Next there is Rachel. Rachel has been walking around with a
broken heart
ever since her teenage daughter Janie was killed. Rachel
works in the
school where Mr. Connor Whitby is the gym teacher. He just
happens to be
the last person who saw her daughter Janie alive. Did he
have anything to
do with her death? Did he kill her? You are going to have to
read THE
HUSBAND'S SECRET to find out.
Tess returns to Sydney using the excuse that she is there to
help her
mother who has fallen and is in a wheelchair. But that is
the furthest thing
from the truth. Her husband Will has told her a big secret
that she can't
deal with so she takes their son and runs to her mother.
While she is in
Sydney, she will keep a huge secret from her husband that he
won't find
out until he gets there, if he ever comes for her.
THE HUSBAND'S SECRET was a very quick read for me and I felt
like I
was on an emotional roller coaster. You won't be able to
stop reading once
you start. I was flipping the pages like crazy because I
wanted to know
how it was all going to end. Who was going to find out the
big secrets?
Were the secrets ever going to be told? Each time I thought
I knew where
the story was going, I was thrown in the opposite direction.
This is the type
of novel that will certainly attract a wide variety of
readers: those who love a
great mystery, some romance, relationship issues/infidelity,
secrets,
murder, etc. This is an excellent pick for book clubs, women
groups, and
the individual reader that wants a book to dive into. Oh,
what a tangled
web we weave........so many big secrets. This is my first
Liane Moriarty
novel and I certainly plan on reading more. The best book I
have read in
2014 so far.
At the heart of The Husband’s Secret is a letter
that’s not meant to be readMy darling Cecilia, if you’re reading this, then I’ve
died. . .
Imagine that your husband wrote you a letter, to be opened
after his death. Imagine, too, that the letter contains his
deepest, darkest secret—something with the potential to
destroy not just the life you built together, but the lives
of others as well. Imagine, then, that you stumble across
that letter while your husband is still very much alive. . . .
Cecilia Fitzpatrick has achieved it all—she’s an incredibly
successful businesswoman, a pillar of her small community,
and a devoted wife and mother. Her life is as orderly and
spotless as her home. But that letter is about to change
everything, and not just for her: Rachel and Tess barely
know Cecilia—or each other—but they too are about to feel
the earth-shattering repercussions of her husband’s secret.
Acclaimed author Liane Moriarty has written a gripping,
thought-provoking novel about how well it is really possible
to know our spouses—and, ultimately, ourselves.
