# The Younger Wife

Sally Hepworth's The Younger Wife is a domestic thriller centred on the Aston family. Stephen Aston is still married to his wife, who lives in a care home with end-stage Alzheimer's, when he tells his grown daughters that he plans to divorce her and marry Heather Wisher, who is half his age. Tully and Rachel are determined to learn what Heather really wants, while Heather keeps secrets of her own.

Hepworth builds her suspense from ordinary family life, loyalty, grief and resentment rather than from villains, so the tension stays close to home. Everyone in the story is hiding something, and the book suits readers who enjoy secrets and sharp family drama. Hodder & Stoughton published it in 2022.
