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.
This book was very good. I recommend this for a sort of suspense/drama. It had a couple interesting twists and I quite enjoyed how the storylines that in the start were seemingly separate became intertwined and were all related somehow or another. Moriarty seems to do that a lot in her novels, which always adds an element of surprise as the characters continue to develop and meld into each other’s lives. This wasn’t as exciting a some of Moriarty’s other reads, but still definitely worth the time. It’s an easy read and very entertaining.
