A review by judeybear
The Banker's Wife by Cristina Alger
4.0
Why did it take me so long to pick this up? I wish I'd read it sooner.
This novel follows 2 women and their lives as they navigate through the unfortunate situation they find themselves in because of their husbands life choices.
I love that this is told from the wives point of view and not the husbands. It was a refreshing change.
To many people, this story may seem unbelievable but I am under no illusions that this story, albeit with some creative license, is entirely possible in todays world. No one wants to believe the world is built and run like this but that is what makes this book work. It encourages the reader to question the premise. Could this really happen? Does this really happen?
The book described in three words: corruption, desperation, love
*Thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this book. All opinions are 100% my own and I was not paid to review this*
