My Husband
BOOK SUMMARY
In this suspenseful and darkly funny debut novel, a sophisticated French woman spends her life obsessing over her perfect husband—but can their marriage survive her passionate love? At forty years old, she has an enviable life: a successful career, stunning looks, a beautiful house in the suburbs, two healthy children, and most importantly, an ideal husband, whose wealthy background allows her to transcend her own social class. After fifteen years together, she is still besotted with him. But she's never quite sure that her passion is reciprocated.
Determined to keep their relationship perfect, she meticulously prepares for every encounter they have, always taking care to make her actions seem effortless. She watches him attentively, testing him to make sure that he still loves her just as much as he did when they first met. Until one day she realizes she may have gone too far . . .

PRAISE
"One of the most daring, provocative, unnervingly intimate thrillers I've read in years. It's a glass of Sancerre, crisp and cold and dry – and the more you swallow, the more you'll lose your balance. Few writers besides Ruth Rendell and Patricia Highsmith can evoke domestic unease with such sangfroid; fewer still can make it such delirious fun. My Husband is the novel for any woman with a husband. Or perhaps for any man with a wife. Merveilleux, Mademoiselle Ventura!" - A. J. Finn, #1 NYT bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
"While I tend to be more obsessed with my husband's exes than my husband himself, this book had me reeling, laughing and re-examining my life choices. I loved every minute." - Jenny Mollen Biggs, New York Times bestselling author of City of Likes
"What a wonderfully tense, obsessive, enveloping novel—almost like a feminist, introspective spin on Fatal Attraction! Ventura's deftly spun debut is a sharply observed dissection of marriage that will haunt you for days." - Virginia Feito, author of Mrs. March
