Erstausgabe
Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st American Edition, First Thus. Text/NEW & Bright. 2020 First Edition, First Thus. Softcover/Fine. Set in wealthy Atherton, CA. Fast moving, suspenseful novel from noted American contemporary novelist A.R. Torre (pseudonym of Alessandra Torre). A battle between two next-door-neighbor Silicon Valley wives over one of the two husbands, as in "All's Fair in Love & War"! In one corner is Cat Winthrope --- effortlessly beautiful, in a prize house, of high social standing, wife to successful & handsome, albeit demanding, William. In the other, hard working Neena Ryder --- wearing off-the-rack clothing, married to Matthew who adores her, but a demolition contractor, commanding little social respect & extra cash. Neena resolves to seduce William, "trade-up-on-husbands" so to speak, and, if unsuccessful, at least be paid off a big sum to "walk away". To Neena, Cat symbolizes of all the women she has had to complete with in life; just asking to be taken down a peg or two! For determined Neena, ways & means are flexible & versatile --- plain fliration, barefaced lying & even criminal conspiracy --- as needs rise. Author Torre balances plots & counter-plots well in her examination of what a "good & perfect" means to many a modern American and "what price" is worth paying. 301 pgs,52 chapters, 2 Parts. Novel begins w/a realistic Prologue from Neena revealing she was aware that the rivalry may end under purview of the police; and, concludes with separately written Epilogues by Cat and William. The Author's Note says the book was written for "all who have ever been cheated on", but in the end, did not seek revenge; Torre knew & loved all the protagonists, and was sensitive to their unique personalities & behavior patterns were cumulated from "minute moments of interactions", as human life is.
