JANE ELIZABETH VARLEY

Esposas y amantes cuenta la historia de tres hermanas con diferentes modos de entender la vida y los sentimientos. Victoria, la mayor, arrastra un desgraciado matrimonio con David, un hombre ambicioso que utiliza a los que le rodean para conseguir lo que quiere. Clara es una brillante profesora universitaria cuyo marido, Tom, es un hombre con inquietudes sociales, pero incapaz de intuir la apremiante necesidad de felicidad que tiene su esposa. Y Annie, la pequeña, tras una relación tormentosa parece haber encontrado la estabilidad que buscaba junto a Hugo, un hombre de bondad excepcional.

Tres mujeres, tres retazos de vida que ofrecen un retrato de la sociedad contemporánea. Una reflexión sobre el comportamiento de las mujeres ante la adversidad.

Husbands and Other Lovers is the gripping story of the two Agnew brothers - and the women who love them. James Agnew, a brilliant City lawyer, is married to Susannah. They have the perfect life - on the surface. A Surrey house, two successful careers and a lifestyle to be envied. But behind closed doors their marriage is a battleground as Susannah fights the effects of her husband's drinking, hiding it from those closest to her, and struggling with the painful memories it raises about her own past. And when James's life takes a dramatic turn, will Susannah stand by her husband? James' younger brother Robert is the founder of one of London's top PR agencies and a millionaire at thirty-eight. Robert weaves a web of lies and fantasies to entrap the women in his life - and to ensure that they are never free from his control. Tabitha, his ex-wife, must fight for her freedom - and her daughter. Jasmine, his ex-girlfriend, faces losing everything that is precious to her. And what of Natasha, his beautiful but vulnerable new girlfriend? Will she fall under his spell to become just another victim...?
