The wives

Tarryn Fisher

eBook - 2019

Imagine that your husband has two other wives. You've never met the other wives. None of you know each other, and because of this unconventional arrangement, you can see your husband only one day a week. But you love him so much you don't care. Or at least that's what you've told yourself. But one day, while you're doing laundry, you find a scrap of paper in his pocket-an appointment reminder for a woman named Hannah, and you just know it's another of the wives. You thought you were fine with your arrangement, but you can't help yourself: you track her down, and, under false pretenses, you strike up a friendship. Hannah has no idea who you really are. Then, Hannah starts showing up to your coffee dates ...with telltale bruises, and you realize she's being abused by her husband. Who, of course, is also your husband. But you've never known him to be violent, ever. Who exactly is your husband, and how far would you go to find the truth? Would you risk your own life? And who is his mysterious third wife?

Review by Library Journal Review

The protagonist in Fisher's latest novel puts up with something most of us couldn't stand: she gracefully accepts the fact that her husband has two other wives she doesn't know. Then she inadvertently meets and befriends one of them (revealing nothing about herself) and is shocked to notice that this wife is clearly being abused. And what about the third wife? Fisher has mostly self-published and also written a trilogy with the No. 1 New York Times best-selling Colleen Hoover; breakout time! With a 200,000-copy paperback and 10,000-copy hardcover first printing.
