Paul Starr, Ireland's leading cardiologist dies in a car crash with a pregnant young woman by his side. United in their grief and the love of one man, four women are thrown together in an attempt to come to terms with life after Paul. They soon realise they never really knew him at all. The love they shared for Paul in his life and which incensed a feeling of mistrust and dislike for each other, in his death turns into the very thing that bonds them and their children to each other, forever. As they begin to form unlikely friendships, Paul's death proves to be the catalyst that enables them to become the people they always wanted to be.

Review

An astonishing story of love, loss, jealously and every messy, complex human emotion in between. I absolute loved this perfect Autumn-y read - Faith Hogan really is a name to watch out for.Claudia Carroll (Best Selling Author)

It's really difficult to believe this is the author's first published novel - it has an assurance that many an established writer of contemporary fiction would be very proud of. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Faith Hogan does next...Welsh Annie (Top 500 Reviewer) Vine Voice

Wonderful characters and enough twist to keep you reading. The author takes on love and shows the many aspects of love. Love of parents for children, love between a man and a woman, love of friends. This story takes you to all these lives.

Evie, Grace and Annalise all have one thing in common the husband that they share. Evie was Paul's first wife. Grace and Annalise believed that they were his wives too but Paul had a huge secret he wanted to possess the women that he loved so he found away to do so even though his way was in actuality a very cruel way to keep the people he loved in his life.There are children involved as well and when Paul dies his families find out what a selfish man he really was.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Surprisingly Poignant Read!
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2016
Verified Purchase
Faith Hogan created a most unusual storyline for "My Husband's Wives." Readers meet a wonderfully handsome, strong, intelligent, gentle and kind man that any woman would want to marry...and then the women who did. At his unexpected death all the important women in his life are unexpectedly thrown together. The result is a marvelous story about how we can learn, grow and love at the lowest points in our lives, if we will only open our minds and hearts. Hogan explores the ways compassion, kindness, and generosity serve only to expand the heart, even when we least expect it. This is a marvelous book that I heartedly recommend.

This is the story of Paul Starr’s three wives. It seems one wife was not enough.

Paul is in a car accident with a young girl when he’s killed.

Who is the young girl in the car?

An interesting tale told through each wives lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a love story, but not really a romance novel...
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2016
Verified Purchase
Thus uplifting book explores the devastation and recovery of four women, and their children, left behind when their husband (and father) is killed in an auto accident. Despite their individual grief, over the course of the following year, they somehow manage to pull themselves together and learn to support each other. In the process of becoming a cohesive "family" unit, each woman also finds friendship and hope for the future. I found the characters well developed and the dialogue rings true. This is not a long novel; it packs a lot of story within relatively few pages, but I didn't feel shortchanged. It made me cry, but it didn't leave me sad. It's a feel-good book and I loved it!

5.0 out of 5 stars An intriguing, delightful read!
Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2019

Imagine if you had the opportunity to create your own family! With some push & pull Paul Starr manipulated three women and several children into his legacy. Was it bigamy or love? Three wives really discover one another after Paul's demise and emotional reactions trigger many questions and a lot of introspection. Evie, C , and Andellaise, the wives, are determined to answer the question, who was the best loved, and what about the mystery of the Romanian waif, Kasia? This is ultimately a finely tuned love story. Author, Faith Hogan, brilliantly introduces each character in order and ultimately unites them as a family bonded by a dead man's love for each of them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Loved it to a point...
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2016

Good read but I have mixed feelings. In the first half of the book I was blown away by the author's gift of describing the characters and the scenes...felt like I was there and knew these people and what made them tick. There is a major shift in the plot about half way through the story and that is when it all changed, at least for me. In my perception, it was like someone else had begun writing! In the first half, the depth of it all was incredible but to me, the last half was light fluff and while it had a good ending, the second half just did not have that amazing quality that the first half of the book contained. I know from taking writing classes that ending/wrapping up is one of the most difficult things to do but I was so impressed by the first part. I hope the author finds her way to stay the course and improve because they show a great deal of promise!

Reviewed in France on April 4, 2024

I half expected to give up on this after a chapter or two, it's not the kind of book I usually read.

Instead I"ve just finished it in one sitting --- what a great romping, twisty, feel-good page-turner. OK, the basic plot-line is far-fetched but Faith Hogan makes it believable. One to enjoy without it making too many demands on you!

2.0 out of 5 stars Rather boring and slow
Reviewed in Germany on September 25, 2020
Verified Purchase
Reading this book felt rather slow and the storyline did not really unfold. The actual drama of there being more than one wife was not even played out by the author. The characters felt really flat and boring and a lot of their actions didn't seem to make sense (e.g. why does K. not say who the baby is from and that it is not from him?). Then, in the end, a sudden dramatic turn and that was that. At least a happy ending.

Reviewed in Canada on October 1, 2016

Sometimes it is easy to be looked after in a safe place in the world but after a while it becomes a prison. This is a tale of many kinds of love. Romantic, filial and friendship. Most of all it is about discovering one's true self and the self confidence that comes from that discovery. A heart warming, well written story that makes one sad to turn the last page and leave behind these well drawn characters and the wonderful world they have created for themselves, based on love and respect for each other.
