The Husband's Secret


HAPPY SPRING, HAPPY PASSOVER, HAPPY EASTER!

We missed some of our bookworms but we were excited to celebrate Lourdes’ birthday! Thank you Maria R. and Robin for the delicious desserts!

I read The Husband’s Secret well before I met my favorite “worms”. I thought this may be a good book club novel, thought provoking --- it made you think: What would you do? I am so glad so many of you enjoyed reading it. Liane Moriarty’s characters reach turning points in their lives and are forced to re-examine their identities as well as their relationships. Many of the characters harbor secrets. It seems as if Cecilia is placed in an unavoidable position where her discovery of John-Paul’s letter leads to a chain of events that she may not be totally responsible for. 

Are human relationships capable of complete honesty? At the end of the novel after so many emotional events unfold – it is HOPE that allows the characters to look to their futures! Remember; use your compass to find your way! This is another novel that has had its film rights purchased. Boy, do we have a lot of movies to see! 

See you May 5th.
