How To Be a Good Wife - kindle £1.79 today

[aprilbabe]

I was thinking about getting this when it comes out in paperback, but today it was reduced from over £6 on kindle to a bargain price of £1.79. It's a debut novel, looks pretty good from the reviews!

I wouldn't buy it based on the title. Whats it about?

puds the title is ironic. Based on an old rule-book a woman feels she has to follow while under the control of a controlling husband.

I've read this book and the author came to talk at our book club recently.

It's a creepy thriller on a similar theme to Before You Go To Sleep and Room. Anyone who enjoyed these two books would enjoy it I think.

under the control of a controlling husband

My vocabulary appears to be a bit limited this evening ..

Ah ok, I get you. I had suspicions it may have been ironic.

It's a good book.

Very dark.

Thanks for the heads up OP, I have jut bought it.

I loved room and before I go to sleep so hopefully i'll love this one to!

Thanks! just bought it too.

Have iPad but will look at this thanks, just my sort of thing

sold

and thanks

boo hoo too late.

comfysofas - that's a shame

Hope all those that did download it enjoys the book.

I've just finished this and it was very good.
I found it extremely creepy and was on the edge of my seat at some points!
Although I could have done with a better outcome at the end!!

I looked at this on Amazon before the release, because I read a review that sounded very good.

Then I completely forgot all about it, so when the emails started coming through suggesting it, I thought my DH had signed me up for something to make a point. He got a couple of very black looks before I remembered it was actually a book I'd wanted.

I did enjoy in very much, the ending left me furious but I think it was supposed to. I thought it was a very good look at a woman's place, historically, in a marriage and society and even as a mother.
