The Younger Wife

By: Sally Hepworth

3.79

Format: 346 pages, Hardcover

THE HUSBAND A heart surgeon at the top of his field, Stephen Aston is getting married again. But f…

"She just needed to reframe, that was all. People reframed all the time. People who realized they weren't going to live a long life. People who lost a loved one, suffered an accident, lost use of a limb. They reframed. And [she] would too."

-Sally Hepworth, The Younger Wife

"Being Tully’s sister required a very specific skill set. You had to be an animated conversationalist (Tully was easily bored) but also a calming influence. You had to be fully invested in whatever she was talking about but be prepared for the fact that Tully would lose interest five minutes later. You had to love her with your whole heart but do so from arm’s length. Getting close to her was like trying to get close to a helicopter—you always ended up windswept and breathless…and occasionally you lost your head."
