«Portrait of a Married Woman» by Sally Mandel

A dissatisfied wife is tempted by another man in a novel by the New York Times–bestselling author of Out of the Blue: “A wonderful writer” (Luanne Rice).After seventeen years of marriage, Maggie Hollander seems like she has it all. Her husband, Matthew, still loves her deeply, and two irrepressible children complete the picture-perfect family in their elegant New York apartment.But at thirty-eight, Maggie has questions about herself that grow deeper and more disturbing. Once a promising artist, she decides to return to art class in search of answers. It is there that she meets a sculptor who rekindles her talent—and her passion. David Golden will expose Maggie to a tenderness that is as liberating as it is dangerous, and will carry her toward an unforeseen choice . . .“A living, breathing portrait of a truly contemporary woman . . . a lovely read.” —Barbara Taylor Bradford
