In our age of accusations, blurred lines, and shifting allegiances, what would you do?

When Angela meets Jason Powell, a brilliant university professor, she assumes their romance to be a fling. But when they marry the following summer and move to Manhattan, Angela feels she's been given the chance to escape her past. Six years later, however, Jason, by now a celebrated liberal figurehead, faces serious allegations made by one of his young college interns, and Angela's seemingly perfect life is under threat...

The Wife by Alafair Burke delves into the complexities of loyalty and trust in the modern world, raising provocative questions about personal and societal expectations.
