My Husband's Wife
de Alice Feeney
Pourquoi le lire
It is an irresistible, high-concept domestic puzzle centered on gaslighting, stolen identities, and coastal secrets14. The story kicks off with artist Eden Fox heading back to her cliffside Cornish home, only to find that her house keys fail to work1. A stranger looking remarkably like her answers the front door, and Eden’s own husband claims the woman inside is his real spouse while treating Eden like a delirious intruder14. Paired with an interwoven timeline tracing an unexpected inheritance and an ominous clinic foretelling dates of death, it is built to keep you feverishly rearranging your theories until the final pieces snap into place14.
