Publisher's Summary
An unforgettable audiobook that transports the listener from modern-day Australia to the windswept Isle of Wight and the courtrooms of London in the 1780s.
With her marriage on the rocks, workaholic lawyer Liz Jones agrees to visit Seagrove, a stately home on the Isle of Wight, while she quietly investigates its provenance on behalf of a client. When she discovers Seagrove is linked to a notorious eighteenth-century court case, Liz becomes fascinated - not only by the house and its history but also by its current owners.
In the winter of 1789, the infamous Delany Nash scandalised London when details of her alleged affair with her husband's brother were aired in a public courtroom. Yet her journals reveal an extraordinary woman's tale of passion, betrayal and heartbreak. Captivated by Delany's story, Liz delves into her research, but the more she uncovers, the more she risks jeopardising the future of everyone at Seagrove.
For there are dark secrets that surround the house, and when the truth emerges the repercussions will echo down through the centuries. The Wife's Tale is a mesmerising story of love, loyalty and sacrifice.

I really loved this book and simply couldn’t. put it down. Best ever narration and a beautifully written story with more than a few unexpected twists. Hope to find more from both the author and narrator.

Interesting take on a 'romance'
This is really a very good novel, which I found by accident when doing some research on the legal status of women in the past. I am determinedly not a reader of chick lit type novels, but the level of research and the duality of Liz's story and that of Delaney Nash takes the story out of the chick lit classification into a category of it's own. I will certainly be looking out for anything else from this author.

Narrator was exceptional!
Jennifer Vuletic's narration was fabulous. Crystal clear diction coupled with such emotion. Each character male and female were distinct and portrayed so well! Loved the deep sexy voice she had for the character of Theo. Made me wanting to meet him! 💓

Couldn't put it down!
What a great read. The story sucked me in and I became emotionally engaged. I cried at the sad parts, became angry at the injustice and smiled triumphantly when all the threads finally reached a conclusion. I would recommend this book.
