The Wives: A Novel

Ich habe das Buch über drei Jahre auf meinem SuB gehabt und endlich bin ich dazu gekommen es zu lesen und das Dank meiner liebsten Johanna ❤️❤️ (@wordfulbooks) Was soll ich sagen? Wenn man ein Buch innerhalb von 48 Stunden inhaliert, dann kann es doch nur gut gewesen sein, oder? Der Anfang hat mich wirklich sehr sauer gemacht, da ich nicht verstanden haben wie man als Frau solch ein Frauenbild sowie Gedankengut haben kann, das widerspricht allem was ich als Frau gelernt habe, dennoch bin ich neugierig gewesen wie denn nun diese Geschichte weitergehen würde. Und was dann kam, hat mich einfach nur überrascht. Zum einem hat sich das Buch wirklich zu einem Pageturner entwickelt und ich bin einfach bei der Hälfte des Buches geschockt gewesen. Wir haben 3/4 des Buches dann einfach an einem Tag gelesen. Der Spannungsbogen ist on point gewesen und man wusste gar nicht mehr genau woran man gewesen ist bis dann der große Knall am Ende gewesen ist. Ein richtig guter Psychothriller mit einigen Überraschungen und Wendungen, die ich anfangs einfach nicht erwartet habe. Ich kann euch dieses Buch einfach nur empfehlen.

Let me start by saying for you to get the full effect of how twisted this book is, you need to go into it blindly. I found the title intriguing and was curious to find out about the story hidden between the covers. Having never read Tarryn Fisher’s work before, I had no clue what I was exposing myself to. Now after reading this book, I have to say Ms. Fisher messed with my brain and left me with many crazy thoughts. Even as I write this review, I keep asking myself what the hell did I just read. The Wives took me on the most twisted journey, not even a roller coaster ride could compare. The story hooked me from start to finish. I had to know what was happening. The story pulled me into its dark recesses and for its duration I had an inkling of how Alice felt when she fell down the rabbit hole. Neither the title nor synopsis could prepare me for that dark journey down the rabbit hole. Filled with a host of unreliable characters, I had a hard time determining who could be trusted. The deeper I got into the story, the more I doubted the characters. This book reminded me that appearances can sometimes be deceiving. Not because your mind perceives something doesn’t necessarily make it true. Despite the unreliability of the characters, I sympathized with Thursday. I believe this was because the story was told from her POV. I kept wondering why she would put herself in such a position, but I guess she was a fool for love. Being in her head was nerve wracking. I am not sure what to think of the ending. I was hoping after those revelations that the questions I had swirling in my head would be answered. Instead I was left to make my own assumptions. Conclusion/Recommendation Would I read more from this author? A resounding yes. Fisher delivered a mind boggling story that will have you questioning every word you have read while attempting to decipher the many mysteries hidden within the pages. This is a must read for fans of psychological thrillers. Be prepared to have your mind blown. Recommended by Jennifer. https://www.goodreads.com/user_status/show/251463464
