Sonya Walger
Annie and Hector have been hosting their friends Candace, Edouard, and their son, Remy, in the guest house of their Connecticut home for many months while their friends’ home undergoes renovations. As a thank-you, Candace gifts Annie French lessons with twenty-six-year-old local French tutor, Thierry. Hector, an actor, goes to film on location, leaving Annie—newly bereaving her mother—to single-parent their two kids.
As the lessons progress, she finds herself unexpectedly vulnerable to the charms of a man closer in age to her own teenage daughter than to her own. A new life for Annie emerges, one she could never have foreseen.
Told over the course of one year, through the shifting perspectives of wife, husband, lover, best friend and children, Walger paints a contradictory, nuanced portrait of a woman who walks away from every role that tradition and society have expected of her.

"Sonya Walger brings together the quiet outer worlds of her characters and the explosive passions of their inner lives with indelible beauty, richness, and precision. Wifehouse reads like a storm in a soundproof room. I absolutely loved it."—Miranda Cowley Heller, New York Times bestselling author of The Paper Palace
"Wifehouse is a magnificent, richly textured novel. I was enthralled throughout, unable to put it down. It somehow manages to be nuanced while also packing a hefty emotional punch. There is warmth and generosity in Sonya Walger’s writing style; lots of sumptuous detail to draw you in. It thrums with energy. This story made me think deeply about all sorts of hopes and expectations that get attached to womanhood, how flimsy a thing fulfillment is, and what choices are truly available to women who crave change."—Kate Kemp, author of The Grapevine
