52 Weeks 52 Books - THE HUSBAND'S SECRET - Week Ending August 26, 2013

The Husband's Secret totally drew me in, asking the reader to think about how well we know our spouses, and ultimately ourselves.  It asks how a person can live with a deep and dark secret, and how a spouse can learn and keep a devastating secret that threatens to destroy their lives.  It leaves the reader wondering.......what would I do in this case? The Husband's Secret reads like a light read, but asks some serious questions.

"At the heart of The Husband's Secret is a letter that's not meant to be read......."My 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.
