Description
Marriage, motherhood, sex- excellent!
Madeleine Gray
A sexy, funny, surprising tale of female friendship, bedrooms and marriage.
Escaping her 'model migrant' family life in Australia, Meena flourished in London. After falling pregnant, she and her boyfriend, Owen, fall in love with baby Sasha and bravely head to Sydney. But now Owen barely looks at Meena.
On a backpacking holiday, Sophie meets Todd. After a whirlwind romance she throws in her rising career in New York and follows Todd to Sydney, where she has committed to being the perfect wife, mother, and BFF to Meena. But now Todd's talking about a treechange, and Sophie's not sure if the life she built is the one she wants.
Rani came to Australia as an international student and met her husband Daniyal. But raising her son Ali while navigating her husband's late nights has left her lonely. A simple act of rebellion threatens to upend her marriage, but could it also set her free?
When their paths collide, Meena, Sophie, and Rani form an unlikely alliance. Over coffee, cocktails, and confessions, they share the messy, hilarious truths about marriage, motherhood, and what they really want.
Raw, funny, and heartbreakingly relatable, The Sex Lives of Married Women is an unflinching exploration of the secret lives we all lead and the friendships that keep us going.
