A haunting novel of obsession and betrayal, told from the perspective of a man who may have committed an horrific act of violence: The Secret History meets Before I Go to Sleep.
Thomas Christopher Greene was born and raised in Worcester, Massachusetts. Tom has worked in a staple factory; as an oyster shucker; as a speechwriter and spokesperson for a presidential campaign; as the director of public affairs for two colleges; and as a professor of writing and literature. In 2006, Tom founded the Vermont College of Fine Arts, a top New England arts college, making him the youngest college president in America at that time.
A truly remarkable novel. I read the second half of The
Headmaster's Wife with my mouth open, my jaw having dropped at the
end of the first. Thomas Christopher Greene knows how to hook a
reader and land him
*Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of EMPIRE FALLS*
An accomplished and artful storyteller, Greene has surprises in
store as he unspools a plot that becomes as poignant as it is
unpredictable
*Wally Lamb, New York Times bestselling author of THE HOUR I FIRST
BELIEVED*
I devoured this book. Both psychologically complex and wickedly
fast paced
*Julianna Baggott, bestselling author of PURE*
Incredibly beautiful and compulsively readable, The Headmaster's
Wife will keep you mesmerized into the wee hours. A master
storyteller, Greene's biggest achievement is proving that the most
complex mystery of all is how and why we love
*Kimberly McCreight, bestselling author of RECONSTRUCTING
AMELIA*
Greene's haunting tale tracks the unraveling of a marriage. It
starts, eerily, with a naked man's arrest... then twists back in
time through love, grief, betrayal, and love again
*Good Housekeeping US*
Nothing is what it appears in this brilliant story of a life gone
awry... The author's true intentions make this tale even more
remarkable, for the book is, at its core, a trenchant examination
of one family's terrible loss and how the aftermath of tragedy can
make or break a person's soul
*Publishers Weekly*
