In case you have not already had an opportunity to read A Reliable Wife, here is a bit of background on this #1 New York Times Bestseller:
In his new novel, A Reliable Wife, author Robert Goolrick unveils a dark saga set in rural Wisconsin in the early 20th century. Goolrick, a former advertising exec turned writer (he’s widely known for his memoir The End of the World As We Know It), explores the difficulties of “simple” married life and the dark family landscape within which it exists. Above all, the narrative strives to show the power of goodness and the transience of everything else.
It’s a gripping tale…a haunting, sexy story. We are so pleased to present this renowned author in Westwood Village.
(You’ll be seeing A Reliable Wife on the Silver Screen. Sony Pictures has already acquired the movie rights…they know a good story when they read it!)
