Joanne Rendell is a Brit who, after completing her PhD in English Literature, moved to the States to be with her husband, a professor at NYU. She and I have met in several places online and become friends and I'm thrilled that her debut novel launches this week.
I bet some people have to concentrate hard on getting those apostrophes in her title right. Even professors' wives might have to pay attention. And that might not be the end to their problems, as The Professors' Wives' Club relates.
With its iron gate and high fence laced with honeysuckle, Manhattan University’s garden offers faculty wives Mary, Sofia, Ashleigh, and Hannah a much needed refuge. Each of them carries a scandalous secret that could rock the prestigious university to its very core.
When a ruthless Dean tries to demolish the garden, the four women are thrown together in a fight which enrages and unites them.
