The Husband's Secret - An Amazing Summary!
The Husband’s Secret is a novel of betrayal, fake love, secrets and back-stabbing drama, written by Liane Moriarty.
It is actually a modern novel about three women, who are involved by the murder case of a young girl, which occurred almost thirty years prior to the story of the novel.
The main protagonist of the novel is a woman named Cecilia Fitzpatrick, who believes that she lives in a perfect life—a life totally under control. However, her picture of perfection in her life is shattered to pieces, when one day, she accidentally finds a mysterious letter. This letter is addressed to her, but the author of the letter is none other than her husband John-Paul.
She should not have found this letter yet, however, it was intended for her to find it after her husband’s death, but, impatient as she is, Cecilia immediately opens the letter and reads it.
What she found in that letter will change her life for good; there, her husband John-Paul confesses of killing a young woman. Cecilia is now faced with a choice; either to turn her husband in or to remain quiet and to try to protect the integrity of her family.
Upon her discovery, her world is beginning to collapse; she needs to face the truth that her husband is not so perfect, loving and kind as she thought he was. The novel is fabulously written; we have a tension-filled atmosphere, a great story, and characters that will need to revise some of their opinions on certain things and persons.
The author of the novel, Liane Moriarty, wrote four more novels including Three Wishes, The Last Anniversary, What Alice Forgot, and The Hypnotist’s Love Story. Those novels were all successfully published and translated into seven languages. She also wrote Space Brigade, series for children. She lives in Sidney, with her husband, son and daughter.
