As seen in Sunday Times Style Magazine: ‘Twisted tradwife lit is here’
A marriage is between two people.
And their millions of followers.
Madison March is the perfect wife, with the perfect family and the perfect life.
She spends her days baking sourdough and picking vegetables from the garden while watching her children play in the fields surrounding her Montana homestead.
Dinner is always on the table for her husband, and they end their days sitting on the porch, watching the sun go down.
It’s a life anyone would dream of.
And it’s all a lie.
From the first pages, author Liane Child entices readers to take a step into the world of social media influencers, where every moment is carefully curated.
The Tradwife’s Secret focuses on the March family, which is showcased on Instagram by matriarch Madison March. She’s the wholesome combination of June Cleaver and Martha Stewart, who seemingly manages her four kids, a husband, and a ranch without breaking a sweat.
However, this is, after all, a psychological thriller. The author delivers plenty of jaw-dropping twists as the pace picks up. With a carefully curated traditional exterior, no one would ever guess that Madison’s life is full of cracks.
While Michael and Madison appear to embrace traditional gender roles, their public relationship hides the darkness threatening to emerge. All it takes is just a small push.
The Tradwife’s Secret requires a “fasten seatbelt” warning as it takes readers on an exhilarating thrill ride full of surprises.
Liane Child is a writer whose gripping thriller THE TRADWIFE’S SECRET was inspired by influencers who believe in traditional gender roles in marriage. When she isn’t scrolling Instagram or TikTok, you can find her reading, walking her dog, or attempting to bake banana bread after not perfecting it in lockdown. She has travelled extensively and now lives in London.
