Some marriages are empty, but their gardens are filled with lies; some are perfect housewives, but turn away and hide knives in the basement; some mothers are gentle and kind, but refuse to tell anyone who the father of their children is; some Upper East Side wives are actually carrying debts and using fake names to infiltrate social circles;
There is another one who is always looking at the street by the window, as if waiting for someone who will never come back. Until an unexpected death breaks the tranquility, and the "seemingly close" relationship between neighbors begins to collapse. The truth, old love, secrets, betrayal, money and freedom are entangled and intertwined. This group of women must choose in the storm: whether to continue to be the "decent women" that everyone envies, or to tear off the mask and live as their true selves. This is a novel with black humor, sharp satire, and full of humanity - you will laugh and feel scared at the same time, and then begin to doubt your neighbors, husband, and even yourself.
