“Fans of Amy Sue Nathan’s previous four novels will be delighted with WELL BEHAVED WIVES. With shades of The Stepford Wives and The Feminine Mystique, Nathan delivers Ruth Applebaum, a plucky newlywed struggling to balance being a good wife while pursuing her career ambitions. To appease her new mother-in-law, Ruth finds herself taking etiquette classes that quickly evolve into something far more important than learning to set the perfect table. Nathan introduces us to a group of women who come together in the name of friendship while each finds their strength and learns to stand in their truth.”
