Wives and Lovers [Paperback] Varley, Jane Elizabeth

A woman's husband is having an affair. Another's marriage is unraveling under the weight of lies. A third is discovering that the life she thought she wanted might be suffocating her. Jane Elizabeth Varley weaves together the stories of three women whose lives intersect in unexpected ways, each grappling with the messy realities of love, betrayal, and the question of what we owe to the people we've chosen. This is domestic fiction that doesn't flinch — no tidy resolutions, no easy villains. Just flawed people making choices that ripple outward. Varley writes with sharp insight about the small deceits that accumulate in long relationships, and the moments when everything tips. If you're drawn to character-driven stories about marriage, family secrets, and women figuring out who they are outside of their roles, this one's for you.
