The Whispers by Ashley Audrain
In alternating points of view, The Whispers follows the lives of four women through a week that changes their lives in unexpected ways. The novel is replete with enough twisty reveals to keep the reader hooked, while also cleverly exploring what it means to be a wife, a mother, and indeed, a woman. Audrain manages to find humanity in our biggest flaws in a way that makes even the most antagonistic character understandable, if not relatable. The Whispers is a perfect fall read for cozy nights by the fire.
