Barbara Greer

by Stephen Birmingham

Barbara Greer is a suspenseful portrait of a quaint suburban marriage—and the betrayal that threatens to tear it apart. Barbara is the blue chip product of a Connecticut mansion, but her marriage to solidly middle class salesman Carson takes her to Pennsylvania, where she becomes another bored housewife longing for a little intrigue. She finds it on a trip back home. Bestselling author Stephen Birmingham paints an intimate portrait of a woman stuck between two worlds.

Remember John O’Hara?

Birmingham does a smash-up job of a novel of upper-class East Coast life. Good writing and a memorable plot you’ll think of afterwards.
