In "Husbands & Lovers" by Beatriz Williams, the lives of two women unfold across decades and continents, intricately connected by a precious family heirloom and profound secrets.
In present-day New England, Mallory Dunne faces a parent's worst nightmare when her son Sam falls critically ill from a toxic mushroom poisoning. Desperate for a kidney donor, Mallory delves into her past, uncovering secrets about her mother's adoption from an infamous Irish orphanage in 1952. Concurrently, Mallory grapples with memories of a summer romance fourteen years earlier with Monk Adams, a renowned singer-songwriter, marred by betrayal.
Meanwhile, in 1951 Cairo, Hungarian refugee Hannah Ainsworth seeks solace and stability after enduring unimaginable wartime tragedy. Married to a British diplomat, Hannah's life takes a tumultuous turn when she embarks on a passionate affair with the manager of a spy-laden hotel. As Egypt simmers with revolution, Hannah navigates love and loyalty amidst political intrigue, culminating in a sacrifice that echoes through generations.
Williams masterfully weaves together these narratives of heartbreak and redemption, exploring themes of love, betrayal, sacrifice, and the complexities of female identity across time.
