What if they hadn't gone? That's the question Clementine can't stop asking herself. It was just a backyard barbeque. They didn't know their hosts that well. They were friends of friends. They could so easily have said no. But she and her husband, Sam, said yes, and now they can never change what they did and didn't do that beautiful winter's day. Six responsible adults. Three cute kids. One yapping dog. It's a normal weekend in the suburbs. What could possibly go wrong?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,058
"I'll tell you something, something important. Love is a decision. Not a feeling. That's what you young people don't realise. That's why you're always off divorcing each other. No offence, dear." So decrees the formidable Connie Thrum of Scribbly Gum Island. She is the chief decision-maker of a rather unconventional family and her word is law. It's been over seventy years since Connie and her sister Rose visited their neighbours and found the kettle boiling and a baby waking for her feed, but no sign of her parents.

Three sisters, one birthday, one little problem... The three Kettle sisters have had a mortifying mishap. Their raucous, champagne-soaked birthday dinner has come to an abrupt end following a violent argument and an emergency dash to the hospital. So who started it this time? Was it angry, hurt Cat, still recovering from the 'night of the spaghetti'? Was it Lyn, so serenely successful, at least on the outside? Or was it quirky, dreamy Gemma, the sister who can't keep a secret except for the most important one of all?

Summary
"To be opened in the event of my death." With one swift, vicious movement, she sliced the envelope open, and pulled out a handwritten letter. "Love you and the girls...so sorry to leave you with this...cannot bear...."
The Husband's Secret is a funny, heartbreaking novel of marriage, grief, love, and secrets. When her husband announces he's in love with her best friend, painfully shy Tess picks up her young son and returns to her mother's house. There she begins an unexpected affair with an old flame.
Rachel is a woman in her 60s consumed by grief and anger at the loss of her daughter 20 years earlier. When her son announces he is taking her beloved grandson overseas, Rachel begins a descent into deeper bitterness and pain.
Cecilia is the quintessential "I don't know how she does it" woman. A devoted mother to three daughters, she runs her household like clockwork, is President of the P&C, owns an extremely successful Tupperware business and is happy in her 15-year marriage. Until she discovers a letter in their attic labeled: "To my wife Cecilia, to be opened in the event of my death".
Her husband's secret is a bombshell beyond all imagining with repercussions across the lives of all three women.

Great story - really enjoyed it!
If you could sum up The Husband's Secret in three words, what would they be?
Engaging
Diverse
Realistic
What did you like best about this story?
Great characters
What does Caroline Lee bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
She really bought it to life for me
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The reflections on how a life (Janey) may have been lived!
Any additional comments?
Although it was fairly obvious what the 'secret' of the title actually would be - the resulting story was certainly worth the listen!

Really good!
This was a really good listen! I couldn't put it down. Not your typical story. I found the humour and observations of human behaviour wonderful. The story speeds along and it kept me I curious about what was going to happen next. The narration was very good and suited the book. Overall a very good listen which I would recommend.

Top 3 at least, well written and amazing performance! Her voice isn't robotic like a lot of other books I have listened to.

Couldn't possibly give any spoilers!
Which character – as performed by Caroline Lee – was your favourite?
Tess
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I could have though - life doesn't allow for 10 hours straight listening.

A bit too much going on
I got this as it was recommended on New York best seller list. I think the narrative by Caroline Lee was especially good. I find her voice soothing and interesting.
I enjoyed the story and felt the epilogue at the end finished it all off nicely. However I found the lives of the main female characters Tess, Rachel, Cecilia had so much going on that three separate novels could have been written for them. It was a bit confusing at times who was doing what and who fitted where. The story did plod along at times and felt certain characters who really had no bearing on the story could have been left out. I would recommend the book and would consider reading another by same author.

A realistic greatly told story about Karma!!
Where does The Husband's Secret rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I rank this book as one of my top, best reads!!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Husband's Secret?
The revealing dialogue between Cecillia, Rachel and John Paul at the children's hospital.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The tooth-brushing scene with Cecilia and John Paul.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I felt a deep sense of empathy for the main characters, realising how difficult it was for everyone to live with their own personal guilt. But for Cecilia, I had admiration throughout!
Any additional comments?
It was a well written book and the narration excellent with appropriate voices and tones. I love the connection to the Greek myth of Pandora and how the story encapsulated the unpredictability of life, the realities of facing our consequences. The story accurately reflected the realities of life and particularly, how the past affects our futures and how in many ways, we face the consequences of our actions.

Not as gripping as I thought.
Not at good as the hype and build up to this book. I felt that the ending was a bit predictable and flat.
Narrator was very good and I enjoyed listening to her voice on my way to and from work.

Her best novel yet
I have enjoyed this much more than three other liane novels. It's compact and the story gripping in the nicest possible way. Her focus has been on fewer characters which she has developed quickly. Enjoyed it a lot now what do I read?!

Wonderful story telling
What made the experience of listening to The Husband's Secret the most enjoyable?
The Husband's Secret is a wonderful balance of humour, tragedy, regret and consequences. The characters are all likable and the reader/listener is keen to find out what will become of their lives.
What other book might you compare The Husband's Secret to and why?
It would be a disservice to this great read to compare it to another novel.
Have you listened to any of Caroline Lee’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not heard Caroline Lee perform before but I am certainly keen to hear her again. Her reading of this novel and her characterisations were faultless. She is superb.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me both laugh and cry. Any novel that can evoke emotion is well written and the characters in The Husband's Secret are all believable. Any of them could be one of my friends and I finished the book wanting only the best for each of them.

Hauntingly beautiful, a story that lingers
If you could sum up The Husband's Secret in three words, what would they be?
What if ?
Who was your favorite character and why?
The book follows 3 women, all of which you come to appreciate for different reasons
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It's moving as it shatters pre-conceived ideas and sets one off on a "what-if" mind spin. Refreshing and emotionally challenging.
Any additional comments?
Elegantly written, worth reading. I'll be reading several more from this author.

Brilliant writer.
Liane Moriarty has a serious writing gift. She takes you on a journey from beginning to end. This book is no exception.
The twists and turns are captivating.
Well worth reading.

No sin ever really goes unpunished
Wow. Where to begin. Gripping storyline, thought provoking prose, snarky humour, and disturbingly relatable characters. I recognized a little of myself in each of the characters. The narrator is sublime. I can’t wait to download her other books.
