Barbara Greer
Published by Open Road Media
From the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Our Crowd comes this suspenseful novel of a suburban marriage—and the betrayal that threatens to tear it apart.
Barbara Greer is the blue-chip product of an old money Connecticut family. But she leaves the world of New England society behind when she marries Carson, a solidly middle-class salesman from the Pennsylvania town her family has always owned. Her new suburban life in Locustville is peaceful, quaint, and terribly dull. Barbara has suddenly become another bored housewife longing for a little intrigue. But on a trip back home, she finds more than she bargained for . . .
In his acclaimed social histories, Stephen Birmingham offered a revealing view into the rarefied world of America’s upper classes. Now he brings his eye for human drama and telling detail to this intimate portrait of a woman caught between two worlds.
