✦ Synopsis

Two identical twin sisters - one a sexually repressed defense attorney, the other a former libertine now living a respectable life in suburbia - are about to have their darkest secrets revealed, to the men in their lives and to themselves. As one sister prepares for the thorniest trial of her career and the other fends off ominous advances from a construction worker laboring on the house next door, both find themselves pushed to the edge, and confronted by discoveries about themselves and their lovers that shock and disturb them.

Review

“The Secret Lives of Married Women pulls back the veil. It's a page-turner that's propelled forward--relentlessly--by a search for truth about desire. Elissa Wald's unflinching vision makes for addictive reading.” -- Daniel Bergner, author of WHAT DO WOMEN WANT?

“This is an intense and intimate book; a compelling, unsettling read that doesn't hesitate to subvert the reader's assumptions, over and over again.” - Pornokitsch

“Crime against humanity and the proliferation of BDSM. It's a feminist novel.” - Books Monthly
