About this listen

When Jill's husband discovers he can never have children, it tears a hole in their marriage that Jill doesn't know how to repair. Frustrated, she seeks comfort in her friends: fierce Leigh, with her high-powered career and doting family, and sweet, uncomplicated Wendy, who has a rock-solid marriage any woman would envy.

Leigh and Wendy's lives seem perfect. But beneath the surface are secrets that could tear their friendship apart.

Leigh has grown tired of her stay-at-home husband and is looking for excitement - outside of the marriage bed. And after seventeen years of marriage, Wendy can't shake the sense that there is something missing in her life.

As Jill is drawn deeper into her friends' relationships, she is confronted by a temptation of her own: an intriguing stranger whose good looks and charm spark an instant connection.

Full of the realities of modern-day marriage, The Secrets of Married Women asks the question: how well can we ever know our husbands, our friends, or even ourselves?

The story line is basically three friends a in there late 30's and how things aren't always as they seem to the out side world.

A massive twist in the middle had my gobsmacked.

.... And I bawled at the end

Good Story Ruined by Terrible Narration

I come from the North East so I was really attracted to this book for the location as well as the story. However, the narrator was clearly not from the North East and her attempt at the North Eastern accent was absolutely terrible and painful to listen to. If I was the author I would have been very annoyed as it ruins what seems to be a good story ( I haven't finished it yet.) The North Eastern accent is quite strong and the narrator is clearly strangling her vocal chords attempting it. Why she was given the gig I don't know. It even veers into Scottish at times.
