Very good book. I listened to three quarters of it on CD, then read the remainder in Chapters! Then bought it for other people to read. Karly, Kelly . . . . I especially enjoyed the Australian accents of the reader.
4.5 It's been soooh long since I've liked a book i was reading! Finally found one!!! I'm actually listening to this one and it's well spoken and engaging.It's original, interesting, thought provoking and flows along very smoothly while keeping the reader interested.
Very good! Once finished, I kept thinking about it and how the stories intertwined.
Great book! Read in 2-3 days couldn't put it down once all the characters were introduced. Really makes you think about what secrets the people you think you know maybe keeping!
I apologize to the author in advance. I simply did not 'need' this book. Frankly, it is beautifully written, articulate, a VERY GOOD story, well woven and spun. Moriarty did an excelled job winding 3 unrelated families under one umbrella of tangled events. Bravo really. For me however, I ended wondering why I needed to read this book. It is a contemporary story about a few families lives in Australia. There is murder, deceit, mistrust, lies, unfaithfulness, grief, children, a broken ankle, sever...
Makes you think about your interaction with others- each of us move through this life with preconceived notions about others, and misunderstanding in communication because of what lies within each of us- our inner feelings, secrets...what makes us...us.
I liked it until the secret was revealed ...
Wow, read this book in a day! Totally not what I was expecting! The book is 3 separate stories woven together so intricately. She starts off with three different families who live in both Sydney and Melbourne. After you initally meet them, their paths start crossing and you begin to see the significance they have in each others lives; even if it's not direct. The story is very real, the feelings in this book and the struggles are things that can and do happen everyday.I could really see my own e...
Liane Moriarty introduces her readers to many interesting characters in The Husband’s Secret. So many, in fact, that I had a difficult time remembering who was who at times. Ironically they are all connected in some way to a murder that happened 28 years ago. Amazingly, I felt empathetic toward every one of them, even the ones I didn’t particularly care for.The Husband’s Secret is about life and death, the joy of living and the pain of losing the ones we love. The Husband’s Secret is also love—f...
This book got better and better as it went along. When I started, I didn't have very high hopes, but it really delivered and then some! The story was engaging, and most of all, I really enjoyed hearing different characters' points of view about the same person. Really makes you think about how you are perceived in the world. I'll definitely check out more of Moriarty's books.
My first book by this author. I found I couldn't put it down. The main character, Cecilia Fitzpatrick, finds a letter from her husband, enclosed in an envelope that says "to be opened in the event of my death".While the first several pages of this book are difficult to get through (the author is discussing Pandora, etc), the book opens up into a narrative about Cecilia's life....as it is, now, and the things that have shaped who she is. She loves and trusts her husband (Jean-Paul), but she is th...
Oh my goodness where do I start? At first this book seemed slow for me. I am one who reads books like "50 shades" and "twilight" and am so happy I bought this book. I found myself not being able to put it down after the 4th chapter and I hope to read more from this author. She has given me a new line of books to be reading. Also, being American, I did however had a hard time understanding some of Australian language as to food and other things but that's not a negative report by any!I do believe...
I enjoyed this book, set in Australia, which deals with the lives of three women and the secret that ties them together. Cecilia is a super wife and mother who finds out a shocking secret about her husband, Rachel is a elderly woman whose daughter was murdered while a teen, and Tess is a wife and mother who finds out her husband loves someone else. The growth and changes each woman endures, is interesting and heartfelt.My minor criticisms would be the long length of the book and the "what would
