Once a week Rosie Tipcott counts her blessings. She goes to sit on her favourite bench on the North Devon cliffs and thanks her lucky stars for her wonderful husband, her mischievous young daughters and her house by the sea.

But then her husband unexpectedly leaves her for another woman and takes the children. Now she must ask the question: what is left in her life? Can Rosie find the strength to rebuild herself? More importantly, does she even want to?

A bit slow at the beginning but ultimately a very enjoyable book by one of my favorite authors.

Narrated by the author is usually the duo I try to avoid. However Amanda pulls it off, well done.

Rosie goes through hell and back. Her perfect life will never be the same. A dramatic and heartbreaking novel.

Gripping family drama

I was drawn into the characters right away and enjoyed their common everyday life. It may have been a bit predictable in terms of love, love lost, unfairness and tragedy but still enjoyable.

And then what?

I quite enjoyed this story of a small town woman and her family that becomes brokeh due to an infidelity. The story was realistic and gave a good picture of how devastating divorce can be, but a little less so towards the end. however, I felt that it was done well enough to qualify as a four. The author herself was the narrator, and although she did a decent job was not outstanding.

What made the experience of listening to My Husband's Wife the most enjoyable?

I thought the author who was also the narrator did a great job. Her emotion throughout was so believable and touching that I was so much more drawn in than I usually am when listening to a book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Rosie of course! Amanda Prowse captured the essence of Rosie beautifully through the use of her voice. I could relate to a great deal of what Rosie felt and expressed at times throughout the book. It had it's difficult moments for me.

Which character – as performed by Amanda Prowse – was your favorite?

Rosie - for all the reasons above.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Rosie lost it all. The pain, despair, and loss were very deep.

A nice read, albeit tough at times to get through

I liked the story line. Any mom or woman will easily connect with Rosie. The banter between mom and girls was comical. It's sad that this scenario happens all too often but it is real life. Families splitting up affects more than just the hubby/wife/kids. You really see that and it puts everyone in the middle or forces people to take sides. I hate it!!! I'm torn with the ending. I get it but I would've love to hear a little more on how Rosie ended up where she did. Narrator was very good. Can't wait to visit London.

I found it hard to get into at first because it took many chapters before it became interesting. It also lacked credibility in parts.
