by Jane Green
Meek Londoner Alice is the perfect mate for philandering Joe: quiet, beautiful, and very malleable. Well, at least until Joe is transferred to New York. Unsatisfied with a tiny Manhattan apartment, Alice convinces Joe to compromise and buy a "country" house. Nestled in her cozy Connecticut cottage, Alice sheds her image as the icy blonde trophy wife and becomes a domestic goddess. In the country, she finds herself and her backbone, much to Joe's displeasure.
It's chick lit for smug marrieds, and it makes us singletons glad that we didn't settle for just any husband! Always engaging, Jane Green again brings a delicious treat to those of us hungry for frothy little novels.
