My Review of “The English Wife” by Lauren Willig

It is just so amazing that Lauren Willig , Author of “The English Wife” is able to weave a tale with different genres and a colorful cast of characters.  The genres of “The “English Wife” are Historical Fiction, Fiction, Women’s Fiction, Mystery and Suspense.There are some surprising twists and turns.  This is a captivating and intriguing novel.

Lauren Willig describes her characters as complex and complicated. There are secrets, lies and betrayals.   There are strange identities.  Is everybody who they say they are? What is the truth? Does it take a murder or disappearance to set the truth free? There is a divide among the haves and have nots, and the rich and poor. There also is a division of American Royalty and British Royalty. What a combination. There are rumors of infidelity and adultery. There is a replica of a house in America that is also in London.

The press is known for fabricating tales, but is also sometimes regarded as the gospel of truth.  Why is it that  people love to gossip and  look into the flaws of other people?

Can knowing the truth be better than living with a lie? Kudos to Lauren Willig for masterminding this story with so much detail. I would highly recommend this mysterious and suspenseful novel for those readers that appreciate all the above genres. I received An Advanced Reading Copy for my honest review.
