The Other Woman (PB) (2004)

New York Times bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey presents one of his most intimate and emotionally resonant novels--a story about marriage, infidelity, and sweet and savage revenge.

She works nights. He works days. Their sex is routine. Their conversations are empty. Something's got to give. It does, when she discovers her husband's affair. The delicate fabric of their increasingly tenuous marriage is torn asunder--but neither is prepared for what happens next. An unforgivable betrayal is about to yield the most unexpected surprises, as a husband and wife face a challenge of trust, faith, and the staying power of love....

"Dickey has developed a knack for creating characters who elicit both rage and sympathy...The nameless narrator, a routine-bound suburban Californian, learns of her husband's philandering ways. But this dame is no hapless victim of infidelity: She takes charge...Dickey taps the intimate emotions of a woman whose hurt we feel viscerally."--Entertainment Weekly
