Description

A beautifully observed and coruscating novel about the complexities of love and motherhood, Wife explores the intricate web of relationships that can both bring and destroy us. When Zoe Stamper, a specialist in Ancient Greek Tragedy, meets Dr Penny Cartwright, a sophisticated academic, their lives are forever changed. A passionate affair ensues, but one that may also signal its end, as Penny's life is marked by a deep-seated need that only Zoe can fulfill. Set against the backdrop of London academia, this heart-wrenching and humorous novel takes the reader on a journey from the end of a relationship to its beginning, and back again. With masterful storytelling, Charlotte Mendelson expertly navigates the complexities of human emotion, revealing the beauty and pain that can come from loving and being loved. A poignant and thought-provoking read, Wife is a gripping and profound exploration of the human experience.
