This month, we will be reading The Younger Wife by Sally Hepworth. In The Younger Wife, bestselling author Sally Hepworth delivers a gripping domestic thriller steeped in secrets, suspicion, and shifting loyalties. When renowned heart surgeon Stephen Aston announces his engagement to Heather, a woman younger than his daughters, his family is thrown into turmoil—especially since his current wife, suffering from dementia, is still alive. Daughters Tully and Rachel are convinced Heather is a gold digger, but as they dig deeper into their father’s past—and Heather’s—they uncover disturbing truths about the man they thought they knew. With multiple narratives and unexpected twists, The Younger Wife explores the dark undercurrents of a seemingly perfect family and the lengths people will go to protect their version of the truth.
