โฆ Synopsis
A stale marriage, an illicit affair. Who pays the price?
Faced with an empty nest when her only child goes to university, the flaws in Grace's marriage are sharply exposed. Finding excuses to escape the taut atmosphere at home, she is drawn into an affair that ignites a mid-life sexual awakening.
But when her secret is discovered there is a terrible price to pay, and Grace is not the only one who pays it.
A compelling and emotional read, The Mortification of Grace Wheeler shines a spotlight on a marriage in crisis, the challenges of being a middle-aged woman, and the fear that your best years are behind you.
