The Good Mistress

The new novel from international bestseller Anne Tiernan, with her trademark wit, sharp observation, charming warmth, and devastating honesty when it comes to mid-life.

Juliet never planned to be the other woman, but Rory was the only man she'd ever loved. She was sure he'd leave his frustratingly perfect wife—until he went and ghosted her, literally.

Maeve is a bestselling novelist, and yet between her exasperating husband, teenage sons, and ailing mother, success feels hollow. When she dallies in a surprising infidelity of her own, her carefully constructed life begins to unravel.

Erica was the perfect wife, but Rory knew things about her that no-one else can ever know. And now she's left with a question she doesn't want the answer to: had she lost Rory long before he died?

As three women's lives collide, they must reconcile the realities of love, betrayal, and the limits of forgiveness—because what does it truly mean to be 'good,' anyway?
