Other people kill their husbands. Not her.A darkly clever thriller about womens thwarted ambitions, celebrity, the Times Up movement and revenge.People (Book of the Week)In Invisible Woman, a dangerous secret held for too long between estranged best friends rises to the surface, and a long marriage comes apart with devastating consequences.Joni Ackermans decision to raise children, 25 years ago, came with a steep cost. She was then a pioneering filmmaker, one of the few women to break into the allmale Hollywood club of feature film directors. But she and her husband Paul had always wanted a family, and his ascending career at a premier television network provided a safety net. Now theyve recently transplanted to Brooklyn, so that Paul can launch a major East Coast production studio, when a scandal rocks the film industry and forces Joni to revisit a secret from long ago involving her friend Val.Joni is adamant that the time has come to tell the story, but Val and Paul are reluctant, for different reasons. As the marriage frays and the friends spar about whether to speak up, Jonis struggles with isolation in a new city, and old resentments about the sacrifices she made on her familys behalf start to boil over. She takes solace, of sorts, in the novels of Patricia Highsmithparticularly the masterpiece Strangers on a Train, with its duplicitous characters and their murderous impulsesuntil the lines between reality and fantasy become blurred.Invisible Woman is at once a literary thriller about the lies we tell each other (and ourselves), and a powerful psychological examination of the complexities of friendship, marriage, and motherhood.
