*An Oprah Magazine Most Anticipated Book of 2021* *A Woman &
Home Top Four Literary Read* *A lovereading.co.uk Star Book* And
they lived happily ever after . . . didn't they? Cinderella married
the man of her dreams - the perfect ending she deserved after
diligently following all the fairy-tale rules. Yet now, two
children and thirteen-and-a-half years later, things have gone
badly wrong. One night, she sneaks out of the palace to get help
from the Witch who, for a price, offers love potions to disgruntled
housewives. But as the old hag flings the last ingredients into the
cauldron, Cinderella doesn't ask for a love spell to win back her
Prince Charming. Instead, she wants him dead. Endlessly surprising
and wildly inventive, The Charmed Wife is a sophisticated literary
fairy tale for the twenty-first century that weaves together time
and place, fantasy and reality, to conjure a world unlike any
other. Nothing in it is quite what it seems, and the twists and
turns of its magical, dark, swiftly shifting paths take us deep
into the heart of romance, marriage and the very nature of
storytelling. 'Dark and dreamy. Inside the plot, magic comes and
goes. But inside the reader, it's all magic - all of us happily
caught in Grushin's hypnotic spell.' - Karen Joy Fowler, author of
We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves and The Jane Austen Book
Club 'Fall under its charms, I dare you' - Gregory Maguire, author
of Wicked A powerful, provocative and quite wonderful modern
literary fairy tale. I danced through the deep dark magic of The
Charmed Wife - long live the fairy tale that lives beyond "happily
ever after".' - lovereading.co.uk 'Surprising, darkly comedic and
enchanting' - CNN 'Genre-bending and darkly comic, Grushin's fourth
novel is a weird and wonderful triumph.' - Oprah Magazine
