The second wife

the long version

"Minty Lloyd struggles to make her life work as Nathan's second wife. Mother to six-year-old twins, sidelined at family gatherings by Nathan's hostile family, ostracized by his friends, she is haunted by the shadow of the glowing, successful Rose - Nathan's first wife. 'The trouble is, ' she concludes, 'everything I do is second-hand.' Yet - such is the curious nature of fate - Minty finds herself united in loss with an unexpected ally - the woman she once betrayed."--Jacket.
