My Husband's Wife by Jane Corry
3.0
My brain hurts from sitting on the fence and trying to decide if i really liked this book or didnt like this book. I’ve been here a while. On one hand, this book was enticing and the plot was very well thought out. The characters went on long personal journeys and I have decided I didnt like any of the characters in this story at all which made it so the book was more enjoying actually.
The book is cut into two halves, beginning with Lily as a newly qualified solicitor, fresh from her honeymoon with her new husband Ed. Her first case is to defend a convicted murder Joe Thomas, who was accused of killing his girlfriend. There is a strange attraction between Lily and Joe and the marriage is all roses.The story is told in the point of view of Carla, a young girl living in the same apartment building as Lily and Ed and Lily.
The next half of the book is fast forwarded to fifteen years later. Lily is now a successful partner at a law firm, she and Ed have managed to make it work and now have a son together. Carla returned to the UK after going home with her Mamma to Italy and has returned into Lily and Ed’s lives un-expectantly. Her motives are mainly money, as Ed gained quite a lot from a painting he had drawn of her as a young child which was successful.
It was an interesting read. As I said before, though, I found myself struggling to find anything about the characters I liked. There are lots of twist and details giving doing the last 25% of the book and there is a ending that was wrapped up. It was entertaining all the same.
