I love Jane Green’s books! And even though this one has been out for a while, I hadn’t read it but luckily my library is fabulous and I ordered it through them to read.
I enjoyed it, it has her typical style of writing and is thoroughly readable, I think I managed it in a couple of days. Not your usual chick lit and dare I say, its because she is getting older and is able to write about more in depth subjects?? Or would that just be my opinion?
What is it about?
Jane Green’s The Accidental Husband is a powerful story about two women connected by an earth-shattering secret.
Maggie and Sylvie are perfect strangers: two very different women, living very different lives on opposite coasts. But they share more in common than they could ever imagine.
Both women have beautiful children on the verge of flying the nest, the home they worked hard to build and always longed for, and a handsome and devoted husband they can’t believe belongs to them. Both women think their lives are seamlessly secure, but they couldn’t be more wrong . . .
For each is about to discover a secret that will shake their world to the very core, throwing into doubt everything they ever thought they knew, and bringing Maggie and Sylvie together in the most unexpected way.
Should you read it?
If you are a fan of Jane Green, yes definitely! If you like chick lit with a backbone, yes definitely!
Have you read it? Did you enjoy it?
Ah, I loved this book. Almost one of her better ones I thought. And the fact that polygamy (sp)is quite rife in the States?
