Young Wives

Summary

Olivia Goldsmith, author of Switcheroo and other best-selling works, is hailed as the mistress of the modern revenge novel. Seasoning her tales with sharp wit and an eye for detail, she has been described by Newsweek as "Jane Austen dealing blackjack." In Young Wives, she moves the war between the sexes into the tidy streets of suburbia. Angela is a lawyer; Michelle, a pampered housewife. Jada is a professional African-American executive. But when their husbands stray, these three women watch their worlds dissolve. Threatened with losing their children, their incomes, and their pride, they combine resources to concoct a devastating plan. There is no fury like three women scorned. Goldsmith twines their tales together into a wonderful conspiracy that led critics to call this book "the perfect anti-Valentine's Day story." Through Alyssa Bresnahan's narration, the keen intelligence and humor of Goldsmith's work shines in every delicious scene.
