But nothing on this island is quite as it seems, and only when these women come together can they discover the whole story about the men in their lives. Brilliant and beguiling, The Wife and The Widow takes you to a cliff edge and asks the question: how well do we really know the people we love?

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“The plot never stops, and the clever twist is thrilling.” —Library Journal (starred review)
"[A] stellar family drama. A clever twist near the end upends the plot’s trajectory. Readers will eagerly await White’s next.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A gripping psychological thriller that delivers on its examination of the corrosive impact of family secrets with a dramatic finish that upends expectations.” —New York Review of Books
“White draws readers in quickly and adroitly with this compulsive tale, which is a stay-up-all-night kind of book full of masterful plotting and strong characters. The claggy setting is fittingly oppressive, and everything builds to a culmination that is breathtaking.” —Mystery Scene
“White’s sophomore outing succeeds as both a clever literary puzzle and an insistent page-turner.” —Seattle Review of Books
