The Doctor's Wife

by Elizabeth Brundage

Michael and Annie Knowles have it all.  He is an OB/GYN and she is a college professor.  But Annie is tired of always coming in second to her husband's career, which becomes even more hectic when he volunteers at a women's clinic run by his college girlfriend during his free time.  Simon and Lydia Haas are a troubled couple - he an artist, and she his much younger muse and model.  When the lives of these two couples intersect, a nightmare erupts.

This book was very intriguing.  The four main characters are complex and deep, and even though it seems like on the surface that the intersection of their lives would be unbelievable, it actually flows very well.  Lydia is especially deep and dark, with a family history the reader only learns about in pieces.  The book starts with an accident and then goes back to show us how it came to that point.  This is a very interesting and gripping novel that will keep you reading late into the night.
