What everyone’s saying about The Silent Wife : ‘A compulsive read about secrets, lies, and the complexities of families.’ Bloomin’ Brilliant Books ‘ What a great novel this is! A very moving story filled with deception, betrayal and, contrastingly, loyalty, love, caring and forgiveness... and it has a brilliant ending!’ Splashes Into Books ‘ Well, this book is a firecracker! ...you will experience a rollercoaster of emotions, with laughter, sadness and a satisfying ending that will bring a lump to your throat.’ Many Books Many Lives ‘A fantastic , thought-provoking story, told with pace and style.’ Laura Bambrey Books ‘ My heart broke … The plot is so well written that you begin to feel as though you are one of the family and it is packed with twists and turns.’ The Reading Reverie ‘A page turner - full of implied secrets, unravelling family lives, new family dynamics.’ Bookworms and Shutterbugs ‘An addictive novel about family dynamics, secrets and betrayals that will have your mouth hanging open in disbelief many times along the way.’ Books of All Kinds ‘A compelling, chilling and heart pounding read which will take you on a rollercoaster ride you’ll never want to leave. Phenomenally written and undeniably powerful , Kerry Fisher has done it yet again.’ The Writing Garnet ‘My only regret about this book is beginning to read it at half term and not being able to finish it quicker. A gripping and emotional read.’ De Ja Reads ‘It is rare that a book will make you look at your own personality and inspire you to be a better person. A less judgmental person. A braver person. The Silent Wife did that for me – and in the most unexpected way … I gasped, laughed and cried.’ The Glass House Girls ‘I loved this book… I was riveted throughout. 5 stars.’ Emma B books ‘ The Silent Wife had me engrossed from page one. Five Stars! ’ Boon’s Bookcase ‘ Another five star read from Kerry Fisher ... I love Kerry Fisher’s books and this was no exception!’ Strongly Review ‘A wonderful, poignant, heart breaking, heart warming story of families and secrets, of hidden strength and unexpected friendship. Brilliant! Very highly recommended. Cannot wait for Kerry’s next! ’ Renita D’Silva This book was previously titled The Secrets of Second Wives Review: Originality Cum Laude - I had a hard time getting going as the flip flop of perspective by different characters did not start smoothly for me. However, after getting into the flow, I found this novel immensely satisfying. The characters for the most part were well developed, but it was the overall storyline that was so fascinating, original, and delightful. The plot twists were unpredictable and numerous. The characters all had such defined but different personalitites While I loved Maggie, Beryll stole the day. I would love to have people with these kinds of personalities in my world, they were so funny and fun. Nico was the hardest to understand but with all the secrets of the rich, everyone in the family had his/her own quirks. Amazing plot: Ms. Fisher has a great career ahead of her. I went from crying to laughing out loud. I read the novel in one sitting, so, for me, that's a sure sign of intrigue and talent by Ms. Fisher. This is a hard novel to review without giving away any of the plot, but reading it with no expectation/foreknowledge is truly the best approach. I certainly hope Kerry is able to continue with her originality; the hardest thing to do in this particular genre. From the first page to the final page, this is a definite showstopper! Not only are the characters original but the various combination of events that occur throughout the entire book is mind-blowing. It's going to be hard to go back to the usual novel by numbers that often plagues books of this genre after this satisfying read. I highly recommend this novel, I think you'll fall in love with some of the characters, distain others, but you won't come away untouched. It was also easy to picture the different locales, which added to the enjoyment factor. Ms. Fisher has become one of my new favorite authors. Review: "Would You Risk Everything For The Man You Loved?" Isn't Accurate - The cover of the book says, "Would you risk everything for the man you loved...even if you knew he'd done something terrible". Huh? I was expecting a new wife finding out a terrible secret about her new husband, and then what would she do. No. Indeed, there is a new wife, and she finds out a secret about her new extended family that even her husband does not know, but from the very beginning, that secret is no secret to the reader. I never saw any one particular twist, either. About 3/4 of the way through I accepted the fact that there could be no new secret or twist--new things happen, of course, but by that point they are maddening, but not surprising. The book is good, but if I could, I'd only give it 3.5 stars because I don't think the story is at all about what it says on the cover. It's a depiction of the manipulations of a domestic abuser and the suffering of his victims. I didn't really feel held by very much suspense, but I do feel the depiction of how the abuse takes place, the facade of "everything is wonderful" that the abuser creates that fools everybody, and the why of the primary victim staying, is very, very realistic. For anyone who just cannot understand why a woman would stay with an abusive man, read this book and you will understand--and it's not love, it's pure fear, tinged with confusion and shame. Aside from my quibbles about the story being different than advertised, the author did an exceptional job of depicting a newcomer, and her son and mother, trying to fit in with her new, oh so different, family. It's really a very rich depiction of the viewpoints of the new wife, and her abused sister-in-law. I think it's an enjoyable and worthwhile read---but only if you don't go into it looking for the angles suggested on the cover, because I just don't think the book is as those blurbs suggest at all. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #12,767 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #218 in Sisters Fiction #223 in Women's Divorce Fiction #297 in Women's Psychological Fiction | ## Images ![The Silent Wife: A gripping emotional page turner with a twist that will take your breath away - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81v+i9v-AzL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Originality Cum Laude *by D***T on April 17, 2017* I had a hard time getting going as the flip flop of perspective by different characters did not start smoothly for me.

I was hooked from the very first page. Kerry Fisher’s brilliant writing talent is showcased beautifully in this book. There are no filler pages. Each sentence moves the story forward. It’s exceedingly evident that every word in this book was thoroughly thought out and carefully placed, for maximum effect. Although this book is sure to, wreck havoc with your emotions, it will also warm your heart and make you laugh. Maggie Parker came to the classy Farinelli family from a poor drug-infested section of town. She was the first in three generations of Parker women to nab a husband. Nico Farinelli wasn’t just any guy, though, he was a successful, kind, and handsome man. Nico loved Maggie’s sincere, honest, full-of-life manner. Anna, the matriarch of the Farinelli family, however, was nauseated by the fact that the Parker’s, were infiltrating her perfect Italian nest; especially Beryl, Maggie’s mother, a no-nonsense loving woman, with absolutely no filter. Out of the two Farinelli brothers, Maggie’s husband, Nico was the quieter one. Massimo was a larger-than-life, center of the universe, charismatic, charmer type of guy. He was also his mother’s favorite. From the outside, the Farinelli’s appeared to be the perfect loving family. Maggie, however, knew that to be a falsehood. She accidentally discovered a terrible secret, one so awful that if it were ever exposed, would tear the Farinelli family apart. She struggled to protect the people she loved, but secrets have a way of being unearthed at the worse possible moments. I highly recommend The Silent Wife. It’s an extraordinarily well-written book with many witty one-liners, realistic dialogue, and complex characters. This is the second 5-star novel that I have read by this talented writer. I love finding new favorite authors. I’ll be reading Kerry Fisher’s next book for sure.
