The Mere Wife

$50.95
Explore the chilling depths of suburban life in 'The Mere Wife', a gripping tale that blurs the lines between paradise and fortress. This captivating trade paperback, published in 2018 by Scribe Publications, comprises 320 pages of engrossing narrative that reveals the stark realities of two boys, Dylan and Gren, who unknowingly reside on opposite sides of a dividing line. Herot Hall, with its picturesque picket fences and wildflower-lined streets, represents a seemingly perfect community. Yet, beneath the allure, a labyrinth of surveillance, gates, and hidden dangers lurk, creating an atmosphere of tension and intrigue.

Dylan's life is filled with the charm of playdates, cocktail hours, and the warmth of community, while Gren’s world is defined by his mother Dana’s fierce protection against a society that fears him. As the story unfolds, themes of motherhood, isolation, and the struggle for identity take center stage, engaging readers and leading them to question the morality of societal boundaries.

Description:
To those who live there, Herot Hall is a paradise. With picket fences, gabled buildings, and wildflowers that seed themselves in ordered rows, the suburb is a self-sustaining community, enclosed and secure. But to those who live secretly along its periphery, Herot Hall is a fortress guarded by an intense network of gates, surveillance cameras, and motion-activated lights.

Dylan and Gren live on opposite sides of the perimeter, neither boy aware of the barriers erected to keep them apart. For Dylan and his mother, Willa, life moves at a charmingly slow pace. They flit between mothers' groups, playdates, cocktail hours, and dinner parties. Gren lives with his mother, Dana, just outside the limits of Herot Hall. A former soldier, Dana didn't want Gren, didn't plan Gren, and doesn't know how she got Gren. But now that she has him, she's determined to protect him from a world that sees him only as a monster.
