The Headmaster's Wife

A truly remarkable novel. I read the second half of The Headmaster’s Wife with my mouth open, my jaw having dropped at the end of the first. Thomas Christopher Greene knows how to hook a reader and land him – Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of EMPIRE FALLS
I devoured this book. Both psychologically complex and wickedly fast paced – Julianna Baggott, bestselling author of PURE
Greene’s haunting tale tracks the unraveling of a marriage. It starts, eerily, with a naked man’s arrest… then twists back in time through love, grief, betrayal, and love again * Good Housekeeping US *
Nothing is what it appears in this brilliant story of a life gone awry… The author’s true intentions make this tale even more remarkable, for the book is, at its core, a trenchant examination of one family’s terrible loss and how the aftermath of tragedy can make or break a person’s soul * Publishers Weekly *
An accomplished and artful storyteller, Greene has surprises in store as he unspools a plot that becomes as poignant as it is unpredictable – Wally Lamb, New York Times bestselling author of THE HOUR I FIRST BELIEVED
Incredibly beautiful and compulsively readable, The Headmaster’s Wife will keep you mesmerized into the wee hours. A master storyteller, Greene’s biggest achievement is proving that the most complex mystery of all is how and why we love – Kimberly McCreight, bestselling author of RECONSTRUCTING AMELIA
