Hidden

Review “[A] delicate, honest exploration of secrets, family, and the varied meanings of true love...” ―Booklist“By giving the perspective, in alternating chapters, of each of the three main characters… this novel builds suspense as the reader wonders what really happened. McKenzie’s fourth novel is sure to please her many fans and appeal to readers who enjoy women’s fiction with an element of suspense.” ―Library Journal“A good pace, simple plotting and likable characters…Hidden is going to be, like Spin, Forgotten and Arranged before it, an international bestseller.” ―Montreal Gazette“McKenzie has written a compulsively readable novel about grief and infidelity with great insight and great heart. A truly engaging read.” ―Heidi Durrow, author of The Girl Who Fell From the Sky“Catherine McKenzie’s latest book may be her finest. Hidden explores the intersecting lives of a man, his wife, and a woman who may or may not be his mistress. Imaginatively constructed, filled with nail-biting tension and gracefully written, Hidden is a winner.” ―Sarah Pekkanen, author of These Girls and Skipping a Beat“What I love about this deft, intimate novel is that here are no angels or demons here, just adults―husbands, wives, mothers, fathers―leading complex, messy, very human lives. They all struggle to weigh desire against obligation, what they want against what is right. I found myself in the impossible, wonderful position of rooting for all of them―and of missing them when the book was over.” ―Marisa de los Santos, author of Belong to Me and Love Walked In“Using distinct narrative voices, Catherine McKenzie has crafted a compelling novel that kept me turning pages at a breakneck speed. Heartbreakingly honest and real, Hidden is a wonderfully relatable tale.” ―Tracey Garvis Graves, author of On the Island“Gripping, smart, beautifully written, Catherine McKenzie’s books are always a must read. Hidden should be at the top of your list.” ―Allie Larkin, author of Stay and Why Can’t I Be You“Catherine McKenzie breaks your heart in this story of two grief-stricken women mourning the same man. Hidden’s complex grace and page-turning sympathy left me satisfied through very the last page.” ―Randy Susan Meyers, author of The Murderer’s Daughters and The Comfort of Lies Product Description When a married man suffers a sudden fatal accident, two women are shattered―his wife and his mistress―and past secrets, desires, and regrets are brought to light.While walking home from work one evening, Jeff Manning is struck by a car and killed. Two women fall to pieces at the news: his wife, Claire, and his co-worker Tish. Reeling from her loss, Claire must comfort her grieving son as well as contend with funeral arrangements, well-meaning family members, and the arrival of Jeff’s estranged brother, who was her ex-boyfriend. Tish volunteers to attend the funeral on her company’s behalf, but only she knows the true risk of inserting herself into the wreckage of Jeff’s life.Told through the three voices of Jeff, Tish, and Claire, Hidden explores the complexity of relationships, the repercussions of our personal choices, and the responsibilities we have to the ones we love.
