Analysis Of The Husband's Secret By Liane Moriarty

The book ‘The Husband's Secret’ by Liane Moriarty was published in 2013. It is a story set in Australia, of three women - Tess, Cecilia and Rachel. The book talks about how their lives are connected in a way they would have never imagined when one of them finds a letter by her husband which is to be opened at his death.

Cecilia feels that what has happened to Polly has punished John Paul for what he did. Will goes to see Tess and she decides to give their marriage one more chance. She tells him that they have a few months, until Christmas, to try to make things
