Traces the intersecting lives of three women five years after a fateful love affair, including Tia, who gave up her baby for adoption; Caroline, the adoptive mother; and Juliette, who views her husband's affair differently upon learning about the baby. - Simon and Schuster
From the author of the critically acclaimed The Murdererâs Daughters, a compelling novel about three women caught in the aftermath of infidelity.
âHappiness at someone elseâs expense came at a price. Tia had imagined judgment from the first kiss that she and Nathan shared. All year, sheâd waited to be punished for being in love, and in truth, she believed that whatever consequences came her way would be deserved.â
Five years ago, Tia fell into obsessive love with a man she could never have. Married, and the father of two boys, Nathan was unavailable in every way. When she became pregnant, he disappeared, and she gave up her baby for adoption.
Five years ago, Caroline, a dedicated pathologist, reluctantly adopted a baby to please her husband. She prayed her misgivings would disappear; instead, sheâs questioning whether sheâs cut out for the role of wife and mother.
Five years ago, Juliette considered her life ideal: she had a solid marriage, two beautiful young sons, and a thriving business. Then she discovered Nathanâs affair. He promised heâd never stray again, and she trusted him.
But when Juliette intercepts a letter to her husband from Tia that contains pictures of a child with a deep resemblance to her husband, her world crumbles once more. How could Nathan deny his daughter? And if heâs kept this a secret from her, what else is he hiding? Desperate for the truth, Juliette goes in search of the little girl. And before long, the three women and Nathan are on a collision course with consequences that none of them could have predicted.
Riveting and arresting, The Comfort of Lies explores the collateral damage of infidelity and the dark, private struggles many of us experience but rarely reveal.
