She was then a pioneering filmmaker, one of the few women to break into the all-male Hollywood club of feature film directors. But she and her husband Paul had always wanted a family, and his ascending career at a premier television network provided a safety net. Now they've recently transplanted to Brooklyn, so that Paul can launch a major East Coast production studio, when a scandal rocks the film industry and forces Joni to revisit a secret from long ago involving her friend Val.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJoni is adamant that the time has come to tell the story, but Val and Paul are reluctant, for different reasons. As the marriage frays and the friends spar about whether to speak up, Joni struggles with isolation in a new city, and old resentments about the sacrifices she made on her family's behalf start to boil over. She takes solace, of sorts, in the novels of Patricia Highsmith, particularly the masterpiece \u003ci\u003eStrangers on a Train\u003c\/i\u003e, with its duplicitous characters and their murderous impulses, until the lines between reality and fantasy become blurred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eInvisible Woman\u003c\/i\u003e is at once a literary thriller about the lies we tell each other (and ourselves), and a powerful psychological examination of the complexities of friendship, marriage, and motherhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'A darkly clever thriller about women's thwarted ambitions, celebrity, the Time's Up movement and revenge.'\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003ePeople\u003c\/i\u003e (Book of the Week)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46438251299052,"sku":"9780802164339","price":32.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/16284723482473.jpg?v=1747191616"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/katia-lief.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
