"You can rid yourself of the wolf at your door, but what do you do when the wolf is in your bed...?" Two identical twin sisters—one a sexually repressed defense attorney, the other a former libertine now living a respectable life in suburbia—are about to have their darkest secrets revealed, to the men in their lives and to themselves. As one sister prepares for the toughest trial of her career and the other faces a stalker who knows details of her life that even her husband doesn't, both find themselves pushed to the edge, and confronted by discoveries about their husbands that shock and disturb them. The Secret Lives of Married Women is an intense, psychologically penetrating tale of fears and fantasies, the desires that drive us, and how far men will go for the women they love. Acclaim for the Work of ELISSA WALD... "A brave, disturbing new voice in American fiction." — Pat Conroy "Passionately wrought...a writer whose prose I've long admired." — Junot Diaz "Elissa Wald, a veteran of what vanilla reviewers call 'the S/M scene,' brings new meaning to the term 'literary submission.' If you're looking for a good erotic read, cuff yourself to this book." — Time Out New York
