Description: Product Details The Doctor's Wife by Elizabeth Brundage EAN: 9780452286917 ISBN: 0452286913 Publisher: Penguin Publishing Group 2005, Paperback Product Dimensions: 0.8 x 8.3 x 5.4 inches Pages: 368 Language: English BOOK OVERVIEW "The memory starts here, in my apron pocket, with the gun." So begins The Doctor's Wife, a stunning debut novel about four people and the cataclysmic intersection of their lives. From the outside, the Knowles family has it all. Michael is a rising OB/GYN at a prominent private practice in Albany, New York; he also moonlights at a local women's health clinic, and they live in a rambling Federal farmhouse with their two kids. But Annie has become tired of her husband's absences, and her role as wife/mother/teacher has worn thin. She begins a love affair with bad-boy celebrity painter Simon Haas, who is married to his muse and model, Lydia, upon whom he built his career. Simon reawakens Annie's passion-but events soon take a dark turn for the Knowles family. Abortion, local evangelism, marital disenchantment, and the rifts of social class: Brundage takes on the fault lines of our era with a deft hand. The Doctor's Wife is an accomplished, page-turning novel-"A fine debut, full of psychological suspense, plot twists and turns, malice disguised as religion, the taint of incest, and cheating spouses."* "From the very first paragraph of Elizabeth Brundage's debut novel, it is evident things will not end neatly. No character inhabiting this story will escape unscathed from the choices they've made... [a] well-crafted work." -Ms. Magazine "An examination of what happens [to us] when we are drawn to the very thing that promises to destroy us." -Publishers Weekly ABOUT THE AUTHOR Elizabeth Brundage is the author of five novels.
