Tras muchos años de matrimonio, Laura se considera una esposa y madre feliz. Sin embargo, un día su esposo Jeff desaparece sin dejar rastro. A partir de entonces, Laura conocerá la otra cara de su vida familiar: problemas con sus hijos adolescentes, problemas de dinero y, lo peor, la constatación de que ha convivido durante años con un desconocido. This novel is typical Delinsky chick-lit. After 25 years of a supposedly happy marriage Laura Frye is in for the shock of her life when her husband Jeff disappears without a trace. Aside from suspicious, insulting questions from the police who are implying maybe Jeff intensionally disappeared, she's got to deal with two angry, and very confused teenagers and a prying, bossy mother. The plot quickly leads to shocking disclosures, unexpected consequences, and of course it wouldn't be a satisfactory Delinsky novel without a little romance. The characters are stereo-typical, and the plot predictable. Nevertheless, "A Woman Betrayed" is an entertaining read. I registered a book at BookCrossing.com! http://www.BookCrossing.com/journal/12969519 This theme has been done before, of course, and done better. Laura is living a good life with her children and husband, and everything seems peachy, when her husband Jeff disappears. At first she is worried, but then it becomes apparent that he left on his own. The primary reason also becomes apparent. Laura struggles with learning more and more about this man she lived with for 20 years. She can't believe he'd do this to his family. Yet he did. One of the themes of the novel is that Laura's strength was always greater than Jeff's. Jeff was made more sympathetic in comparison, the poor boy was emasculated by his super-strong wife. Please, give me a break. She needn't apologize for being who she is. One of the rules of writing is to "show, not tell". Thus we should observe the effects of the revelations on Laura and not have to be told what they were. But again and again we had her asking, "how well did I really know him?". More subtlety, please. Okay for a train trip, a vacation book. I really wanted to like this book. It starts off great- a woman is left confused and overwhelmed when her stable life is upturned after the disappearance of her husband. But as the book went on, much of the book seemed like filler to me. I was interested enough in the plot to want to know the outcome, but started skimming to get to the end. Much of the book seemed contrived. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
