The Secret Wife

Rarely do I read a love story that expresses the perplex inner thoughts that many of us feel but never say. I love that her characters were human, made mistakes and had serious regrets yet, somehow chose to find whatever hope, light and love they could in the situations they were in. She bravely wrote about the \”gray\” we feel when faced with the black and white definition of what love should look like vs how many beautiful shades and layers it creates.. some with which we are unable to outwardly explain or describe… Hauntingly sad in parts but, interwoven with a poignant story about strength, perseverance, loyalty, and of course love

While I enjoyed the premise of this story and managed to keep listening til the end, I almost gave up in the beginning because the writing is fraught with cliches and the performance is pretty bad. The female performer does a cringe-worthy New York accent that is incredibly distracting. The Romanov storyline was enough to keep me engaged and after a while I was invested in the modern storyline as well, but overall, this book was just kind of meh.

The two voices, male for the past and female for the present, made the novel so easy to listen, Even when short spurts of time. Enjoyed!!

Although you think you might already know this story, the twists are delightfully surprising and unexpected. I am going to pick this for my next book club that I get to host (six months from now) because not only is it a great story, but will make for a very interesting book club discussion!

I loved this work from start to finish. the story is just wonderful with twists and turns
