Invisible Woman
(eAudiobook)
Description
Joni Ackerman's decision to raise children, 25 years ago, came with a steep cost. 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. Joni 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's 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 Strangers on a Train, with its duplicitous characters and their murderous impulses-until the lines between reality and fantasy become blurred. "Invisible Woman" 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.
