I received a gifted copy and am providing a review. (Not my
picture.)
A freak accident leaving a woman in a catatonic-like state,
unable to communicate.
A husband who divorces his first wife and moves his second
wife into his home.
A second wife who accepts the situation, but begins to
discover things that are unfathomable.
A neighbor who befriends the second wife and, through
circumstances, discovers a truth she was least expecting.
A mother-in-law who becomes an ally.
As you may or may not know, I am a huge Minka Kent “fan
girl,” so when the opportunity arises to snag a copy of her book, I jump on it.
The Silent Woman is no exception. I devoured this tale in three days … I
thought it was that intriguing. The premise of this tale is Jade meeting Wells
through the book she was researching, that being a true story based on Wells’
grandmother’s life, Viviette. Circumstances being what they were, they end up getting
married which gives Jade a closer look into Viviette’s life as she was living
in the same house, the house that had been in the family for decades, housing
all of Viviette’s diaries. But, wait … some diaries are missing. Where did they
go and why? Jade decides she wants to spend some more time with Sylvie, Wells’
first wife, who conveniently Wells lets stay in the guesthouse behind the main
house, being sure to provide Sylvie the care she needs after her accident. Is
that the only reason?
This book contains a bit of everything … dysfunctional family ties; lies and deceit; secrets that come to surface with the right questions being asked. There is enough intrigue to keep readers turning the pages to find out what really happened, but the bigger question underlying everything is why? Be sure to add this one to your TBR - releasing September 27, 2022.
