Eliza's playwright husband Richard Sheridan has accepted the career opportunity of a lifetime: running a prestigious theatre in Dublin. Eliza plays the role of the supportive wife—uprooting their daughter Mara, relocating from England to Dublin, running the household, and managing Richard's paperwork—but inside, she's burning with resentment.

Eliza was once a globe-trotting classical pianist; now, her time is consumed by the dramas of the judgmental 'momfluencers' at the café across from Mara's school, where she spends hours anxiously watching her lonely daughter during playtimes.

When she's sent a suggestive photo of Richard with another woman, it's the last straw. She turns to mysterious marriage therapist Ellen Early for help. But Eliza has no idea just how far Ms. Early is willing to go to get results...

The Marriage Vendetta offers the quirky relatable tone of How to Kill Your Family crossed with the wry wit of Sorrow and Bliss. There's a touch of BBC's Motherland in the portrayal of parental schoolyard politics—and the dark comedy of Bad Sisters.

About the Author

Caroline Madden is an Irish journalist and writer.

Having grown up in the countryside of Longford, Caroline got notions and moved to Dublin where she swanned around Trinity College for a few years. She got a degree in something called management science and still isn't sure what exactly that is.

After trying to make it as a corporate stooge, Caroline found herself in the world of journalism where she was able to secretly work on her novels while she was supposed to be writing stock market reports.

She now lives by the sea with her two children and one very small, very loud dog called Benji.

You can find Caroline online at www.carolinemaddenbooks.com. Much as she wishes otherwise, she is not the LA-based infidelity recovery expert Caroline Madden, PhD.
