Publisher's Synopsis

How to Be a Good Wife is a haunting and unforgettable literary thriller about the 'perfect marriage', by Emma Chapman.

Marta has been married to Hector for longer than she can remember. She has always tried hard to be a good wife.

But now Hector has come home with a secret. And Marta is beginning to imagine - or revisit - a terrifying truth . . .

'The unnamed Scandinavian setting has all the familiar elements of contemporary northern lights noir . . . a ruthless examination of the many layers of marriage, and a woman's opaque role with it.' - Guardian
