The Husband’s Secret Book Review
Cecilia Fitzpatrick thinks she knows her husband inside out, so she’s
surprised to accidentally discover in the attic a dusty sealed envelope
with “For my wife – to be opened only in the event of my death” written
on it in his handwriting. When she casually mentions it to him on the
phone, his reaction makes it clear that the last thing he wants is for
her to open that envelope – but why?
Leaving us with this intriguing puzzle, the story then jumps to
another woman, Tess, whose husband has fallen in love with someone else.
Shocked and distraught, Tess makes immediate plans to go and stay with
her mother in Sydney, taking her young son with her. Then we move onto a
third woman, Rachel, whose much loved daughter died many years
previously and whose life now centres on her grandson. Shortly, the
three women’s lives will intersect and the secret that Cecilia’s husband
has been guarding for so long will impact on them all.
Despite strong word of mouth, I wasn’t expecting a lot from this
book, having once tried to read another by this Australian author and
giving up on it. But I absolutely devoured The Husband’s Secret. From
the first chapter I was gripped and I read it in two settings. I worried
about the characters I even woke up in the middle of the night
wondering how the author could possibly resolve the events that she’d
set in motion. This isn’t epic literature, but it’s incredibly readable
and totally gripping – the kind of book you want for a long plane
flight. Get online The Husband’s Secret today.
