How to Be a Good Wife is an original, haunting and unforgettable
literary thriller by Emma Chapman. I know what my husband would
say: that I have too much time on my hands; that I need to keep
myself busy. That I need to take my medication. Empty nest
syndrome, he tells his friends at the pub, his mother. He's always
said I have a vivid imagination. Marta has been married to Hector
for longer than she can remember. She has always tried hard to be a
good wife. But now Hector has come home with a secret. And Marta is
beginning to imagine - or revisit - a terrifying truth . . . 'The
unnamed Scandinavian setting has all the familiar elements of
contemporary northern lights noir . . . a ruthless examination of
the many layers of marriage, and a woman's opaque role with it.' -
