About the book
Elise, Brenda and Annie were all first wives inhabiting the headier spheres of New York society. Then in their forties, with their husbands at the pinnacle of success, they were abandoned for "trophy wives"--Younger, blonder and more decorative models. Now, they form "The First Wives Club" with the mission of getting even.
