The Atomic's Wife

The Atomic's Wife

4.3/5 ( ratings)

She knows what you want. But will she give you what you need?

What do a retired accountant, a Vietnamese immigrant, a headmaster's wife, an elderly heiress, and an agoraphobic have in common?

They have a scientist's wife who can see, hear and smell their secrets, just like her mother and her grandmother before her...

Five strangers. Five secrets. And a harrowing lie that cannot remain buried forever.

Lydia knows all about the importance of scientific discovery. But she also understands the danger of ignoring the power of nature.

Particularly its scent, which is much more than just a smell. She learnt all that, and a lot more, a long time ago.

So when five lives collide during a freak midsummer heatwave, the Atomic Wife knows just what they need to expose, and confront, the truth.

And the real truth is something that none of them expected to uncover.

An exciting suspense thriller with a hint of supernatural. Appealing to fans in the Joanne Harris Chocolate and Different Class genres with a hint of Sebastian Faulks A Week in December. Strong appeal to female readership with an independent central female character. Sub plots involving love, domestic violence, transvestism, immigration and euthanasia, written in a compelling and often darkly humorous voice.

With a quirky and distinctive flow of scientific data and facts woven into the richly fragrant and evocative narrative.

Captures the zeitgeist#MeToo/Exclusion Rider ethos in the women's suffrage centenary.
