Laura Rider's Masterpiece


This book was pretty different. I got it off of a best sellers list--as a warning, it is a little bit scandalous at times. It is the story of a middle aged husband and wife. The wife is becoming restless and bored with her life and her marriage, so she decides to create a kind of experiment. When a celebrity she greatly admires moves into her neighborhood, she decides to orchestrate her husband and this woman falling in love, so she can write a novel about it......weird, right? She writes love emails to this woman pretending to be her husband, until a full fledged romance begins. Writing and controlling this story becomes her passion in life, as she watches the personal lives of others unravel around her. It is definitely interesting, but has a couple unnecessary scenes. Read at your own risk!
