Originally reviewed on Becca's Books. Once in a while, a novel comes along that holds within it so much emotion and so much heart that it completely undoes you, and for me, that novel has to be My Husband's Wife by Amanda Prowse. I haven't actually, if I'm going to be honest with you, read that many books by Prowse. In fact, My Husband's Wife happens to be only the third book by this author that I've read. My first was The Christmas Café, and my second was the all-consuming Another Love, both of...
3 ⭐⭐⭐ - OK decent reads.
What do you do when everything you thought you had, gets ripped from you?Amanda Prowse never disappoints me in the slightest. I could easily sit and read anything by her any day of the week, with a nice cup of hot chocolate (marshmallows included!)Rosie Tipcoat, lived an ordinary life, happy with her husband Phil and their two kids Naomi and Leona, after a troubled childhood, this life was everything she could have hoped for and more.But she has noticed little cracks in their marriage, but it wa...
Wow! This is a gripping, emotional, page-turning read that I devoured over a weekend.Rosie is a wife and mother; that’s how she sees herself. That’s what makes her happy. I could identify with this because being a wife and mum comes before everything else in my life. I love my family and I care about their happiness and well-being. So does Rosie. But then her life starts to change…I was quickly immersed in the world of Rosie and her family because of Ms Prowse’s seamless narrative style. I laugh...
I read this book because I wanted a break from the usual, something devoid of smex and whatnot. This certainly fit the bill except it was quite predictable.The story was inordinately linear; a woman loses the love of her life to the evil other woman. We then follow Rosie-our female protagonist- through the devastating turn of events as her grief turns into self-pity, then inertia. I was most appalled when she insinuated wanting to end it all. Because a man left? Seriously?Honestly, it was diffic...
Posted on Blue Mood CaféRosie Tipcott is married with two young daughters, Naomi and Leona. She works part time as a hotel housekeeper but her main role in life is taking care of her family. She’s pretty content with her life until one day her husband, Phil, suddenly announces he’s leaving as he’s met someone else. The “other woman” is wealthy, beautiful and can still wear skinny jeans. In that moment, Rosie’s comfortable world is turned inside out along with her identity. Who is she if she’s no...
Well.....When I read one of Amanda Prowse books I know I’m in deep. This one was no exception.She writes about realistic things with such depth that it’s as powerful as a punch to the stomach (emotionally).I’m one of those women.Married, my child are grown, my husband and my kids mean the world to me. They are my life, the ones that keep me going and I’m there for them. That makes me happy, just like Rosie in this book.But there our similarities end thank goodness because one day her husband Phi...
Rosie Tipcott is a contented woman. She has a husband who she is certain loves her, two young children, Naomi and Leona, who make life interesting at times with their antics and a job which may not suit everyone but it suits her. She has no need for a career but is content just to clean caravans to help with the finances and spend the rest of the time with her family and be there for them. She makes a habit of sitting on a particular bench on the North Devon cliffs and thinking how blessed she i...
Reading through some of the reviews on Amazon for Amanda Prowse – someone has said that Nobody does domestic drama like Amanda Prowse! and honestly I couldn’t agree more. Amanda has an incredible talent for not only writing gripping and emotional stories, but bringing the characters to life and making you feel their every emotion. My Husband’s Wife is a heartbreaking account of a marriage breaking down and the feelings of loss, grief and being replaced.
There’s no doubt about it, author Amanda Prowse has a very specific talent for creating the most utterly believable characters. She introduces you to people that you cannot help but feel an affinity and kinship with and in this her latest book in creating Rosie Tipcott she has really excelled herself…Rosie is your typical everyday happily married Mum of 2 very lively daughters Leona and Naomi. Her life is great, she has everything she ever wanted – a cosy home, husband Phil whom she adores, a gr...

All of a sudden Phil is moving in with another woman, someone he's been seeing for quite some time. Rosie is crushed and while she's grieving she slowly loses every...
