The authors tell you a story of Nellie who met a loving, kind and rich man and married him. However, she realized that the reality is not so fabulous. Nellie loses her personality and becomes completely controlled by Richard. He does not like her secrets. He knows about Nellie’s fears and uses them to keep his wife under total control.
Besides Nellie, there are other women in this story, who have been in the same situation. Reading this book, you’ll have an opportunity to learn something unexpected, new and interesting about the characters and their lives. The story captivates you until the end. You may also notice, how Nellie’s life changes over the years.
I recommend this book to everyone, who likes thrillers about women’s fate. This story is also about subtle, elegant, cunning revenge, women’s solidarity and the ability to help each other in different life situations.
