About the book:
The Mad Wife by Meagan Church is a psychological suspense novel set in 1950s suburbia, following housewife Lulu Mayfield as her seemingly perfect life unravels after childbirth, leading her to obsess over a mysterious new neighbor and question her own sanity amidst societal pressures. The book explores themes of motherhood, mental health, and the myth of perfection, drawing comparisons to The Bell Jar and The Push. It's praised for its exploration of the suffocating expectations placed on women and its suspenseful plot that questions reality versus perception.
Need a copy of the book? We’ll have The Mad Wife available for purchase at Midnights Bookshop, and anyone joining The Tortured Readers Department will receive 25% off their copy. Just reserve your spot and mention it when you purchase the book at the shop.
Bring your book, bring a friend, and join us as we start our newest chapter together.
