As soon as I started reading this I realised I had read it before but continued as I couldn't remember the ending. I enjoyed the parallel stories and the link between them. I felt that the modern day story was a bit long winded and i found myself getting quite bored.
I really enjoyed this one. The characters were great and the story was unique. I did not see that ending coming and really enjoyed the surprise and how things wrapped up. Definitely recommend this one.
I read this at a good time in my life. I liked the twist at the end. I related to all the characters in guilt, jealousy, being envied by others.

This book would ideally get four and a half stars, it only misses out on five stars because I guessed the plot twist early on, and I didn't think the story was quite resolved. Loved it though! Loved the characters and I defiantly think Chamberlain should write about Johnny angel and Ellen, there is defiantly a story there to be told!
I am a big fan of Diane Chamberlain's books and the Shadow Wife is no exception. Diane has a knack for challenging my thoughts on what may appear on the surface to be a clear cut ethical issue. Would I ever root for two people to commit adultery? Well no, but she develops the characters predicaments in such a way that I am as torn as the characters are when a loving husband has to choose between two women he loves, his brain damaged wife or his wife's best friend and colleague. Again, I couldn't put this book down and Diane has such an easy to read style and expertly sets up cliff hangers at the end of each chapter, that I am just compelled to keep reading into the wee hours of the night.
This story is about a love triangle between Joelle, her best friend Mara and Mara's husband Liam. Mara suffers brain damage giving birth to her son and Liam is left to care for his young son. Liam endures the pain of watching his once vibrant wife crumble into the shell of the woman she once was. Joelle and Liam grow closer as they both work together and care for Mara to make her comfortable. Joelle calls upon a well known healer, who once saved her life, to see if she can perform a miracle for Mara. The healer has her own story, a twin sister in an interracial relationship in a time when it was not accepted. Of course, the healer has a life filled with secrets of her own.
Another book full of twists and turns, love, healing, friendship, and sisterhood. I highly recommend this book.

A quick read with typically good and engaging characters. Well paced and a good split between the history and current times of the tale
