Recipe For A Perfect Wife: A Novel

Description

#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

Recipe for a Perfect Wife is a bold, intoxicating, page-turner. Karma Brown has long been a favorite of mine and this book is proof she just keeps getting better and better. This is a thrilling, audacious story about women daring to take control.--Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones && The Six

In this intriguing dual narrative novel, a modern-day woman finds inspiration in hidden notes left by her home s previous owner, a quintessential 1950s housewife. As she discovers remarkable parallels between this woman s life and her own, it causes her to question the foundation of her own relationship with her husband--and what it means to be a wife fighting for her place in a patriarchal society.

When Alice Hale leaves a career in publicity to become a writer and follows her husband to the New York suburbs, she is unaccustomed to filling her days alone in a big, empty house. But when she finds a vintage cookbook buried in a box in the old home s basement, she becomes captivated by the cookbook s previous owner--1950s housewife Nellie Murdoch. As Alice cooks her way through the past, she realizes that within the cookbook s pages Nellie left clues about her life--including a mysterious series of unsent letters penned to her mother.

Soon Alice learns that while baked Alaska and meatloaf five ways may seem harmless, Nellie s secrets may have been anything but. When Alice uncovers a more sinister--even dangerous--side to Nellie s marriage, and has become increasingly dissatisfied with the mounting pressures in her own relationship, she begins to take control of her life and protect herself with a few secrets of her own.
