Publisher's Summary

An Inconvenient Wife is a rich blend of suspense, social history (America in the 1880s), and passion. Chance delivers a powerfully written pause resister about a woman's struggle to escape the confines of her time, class, and gender.

Literary historical fiction is an extremely popular genre, as demonstrated by such best sellers as Matthew Pearl's The Dante Club and Michael Faber's The Crimson Petal and the White. Megan Chance is the author of Susannah Morrow, which captured the extraordinary drama of the Salem witch trials, as well as the historical romance novels A Season in Eden, The Gentleman Caller, The Way Home, and Fall from Grace.

What the critics say

[A] wholly absorbing historical novel.... Chance's straightforward prose and over-the-top plotting effectively combine in this diabolically clever, thoroughly entertaining take on women's liberation." (Booklist)
