Fiona, second wife of David, is the hate-object of her sulky adolescent stepson Jake. Luca’s first wife uses the children as a weapon against Alison. Now they must live with the consequences and the baggage. What if blonde Julia forced her husband James to leave his first wife Deborah to be with her, or petite beauty Alison set her heart on married father of two Luca when they got stuck in a lift together? Adultery and scheming are not to be held against the four Sex and the City-like heroines who have been cursed with getting what they wanted. Moore ( Love at First Site, 2005, etc.) seeks sympathy for her second wives in this lightweight look at modern marriage. Gloriously witty, and written with a sharp-eyed intelligence, THE SECOND WIVES CLUB is Jane Moore at her very best.Twice-around-the-block partners can mean double trouble according to a popular British novelist. But maybe if they all have the same problem they can work together on a solution? For enough is enough: it's way past time for the Second Wives to stop settling for second best. There she's introduced to Julia, whose husband has stayed best friends with his first wife - to Julia's intense irritation - and to long suffering Susan whose entire life is surrounded by reminders of her partner's saintly former wife.įor the women, The Second Wives Club is a refuge and a lifesaver: somewhere to bitch and to gossip and to share horror stories about the exes' latest excess. Perfect that is, until Luca's first wife gatecrashes the reception and makes it clear that she's going to remain very much part of his life.Ī stunned Alison soon finds an ally in Fiona, a founding member of The Second Wives Club and similarly plagued by her husband's ex.
It's Alison's wedding day, her gorgeous husband Luca is by her side, and everything is just perfect. Behind every good man there's the other woman.
