1900s Wisconsin. A small town near Chicago. A dismal winter. A man with a past places a newspaper ad to find “a reliable wife”. A woman answers his ad, a woman with a past... I can’t tell you a single thing more about this book without spoiling it for you. Congruent with the content, the book itself is seductive: full of twists and turns, sex and suspense. It’s a gothic page turner and a wild ride, worth the sleep I lost staying up all night finishing it.

From bestselling author Bohjalian (Midwives, The Law of Similars) comes an elegant meditation on domestic violence. While social issues are at the heart of many of Bohjalian's novels, this is his first to come directly from reader feedback to his previous work. Drawn from stories readers told him of their own lives, Secrets of Eden is a literary thriller and a haunting testimony to the inner complexities of life.
