Story4.5 out of 5 stars 588
Three sisters, one birthday, one little problem... The three Kettle sisters have had a mortifying mishap. Their raucous, champagne-soaked birthday dinner has come to an abrupt end following a violent argument and an emergency dash to the hospital. So who started it this time? Was it angry, hurt Cat, still recovering from the 'night of the spaghetti'? Was it Lyn, so serenely successful, at least on the outside? Or was it quirky, dreamy Gemma, the sister who can't keep a secret except for the most important one of all?

What if they hadn't gone? That's the question Clementine can't stop asking herself. It was just a backyard barbeque. They didn't know their hosts that well. They were friends of friends. They could so easily have said no. But she and her husband, Sam, said yes, and now they can never change what they did and didn't do that beautiful winter's day.

"I'll tell you something, something important. Love is a decision. Not a feeling. That's what you young people don't realise. That's why you're always off divorcing each other. No offence, dear." So decrees the formidable Connie Thrum of Scribbly Gum Island. She is the chief decision-maker of a rather unconventional family and her word is law. It's been over seventy years since Connie and her sister Rose visited their neighbours and found the kettle boiling and a baby waking for her feed, but no sign of her parents.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz is based on the true story of Lale and Gita Sokolov, two Slovakian Jews who survived Auschwitz and eventually made their home in Australia. In that terrible place, Lale was given the job of tattooing the prisoners marked for survival - literally scratching numbers into his fellow victims' arms in indelible ink to create what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust.

Publisher's Summary
"To be opened in the event of my death." With one swift, vicious movement, she sliced the envelope open, and pulled out a handwritten letter. "Love you and the girls...so sorry to leave you with this...cannot bear...."
The Husband's Secret is a funny, heartbreaking novel of marriage, grief, love, and secrets. When her husband announces he's in love with her best friend, painfully shy Tess picks up her young son and returns to her mother's house. There she begins an unexpected affair with an old flame.
Rachel is a woman in her 60s consumed by grief and anger at the loss of her daughter 20 years earlier. When her son announces he is taking her beloved grandson overseas, Rachel begins a descent into deeper bitterness and pain.
Cecilia is the quintessential "I don't know how she does it" woman. A devoted mother to three daughters, she runs her household like clockwork, is President of the P&C, owns an extremely successful Tupperware business and is happy in her 15-year marriage. Until she discovers a letter in their attic labeled: "To my wife Cecilia, to be opened in the event of my death".
Her husband's secret is a bombshell beyond all imagining with repercussions across the lives of all three women.

Another winner
This is the second book I've read by Liane and I know it won't be my last.
It has great characters that are as flawed as we all are. I loved the "what if" nature of the story and the believability of the major players.
Read it you'll love it.

Dull
The beginning of this book was so dull and boring, I lost interest after about an hour and gave up. A family member also tried to listen but they gave up before the hour.
The beginning is just rambling rubbish. The first chapters have got to get a reader interested, this one absolutely does not.
Maybe an abridged version would be better.
Dont waste your money.

A very well written book. The story is catching and you don't want to stop reading (or listening).
And the performance is great: the reader does an amazing job giving depth to all the characters.

females only novel that is dragged out too long
i usually just rate stars but this was so bad I had to write. it is my 2nd liane moriarty book and i will never listen to another one again because both are the same - some story around mums and women with kids. This time it is even worse - its a story abt 2 almost unrelated story about some women who are MUMS with KIDS and husbands with secrets. The lives of these women are boring, unintellectual and so neurotic over every small thing that should not matter. her genre of books are catered to a very special group of women only. i was skipping chapters and cringing at the voice of the performer. go ahead if you relate to it but if you prefer stories with depth and even anything that sounds more intelligent, go for something that is more intelligent.

Intricately woven story fact or fiction ??
This story could quite easily reflect real life - so many incidents relate to the "average" person - I love the way the Author pulls it all together - I have read it twice and listened to is once - just loved it - not a happy story though - some uplifting moments but also quite heartbreaking.

Slow, very slow.
Painfully slow start, I almost gave up. Picks up a bit around chapter 25-ish. Quite predictable and not particularly gripping. Suited more as a back ground listen rather than taking your full attention. Narrator is pretty average and slightly irritating. Book has a good finish though where all characters are summarised, overall it’s an ok read. I wouldn’t recommend.

Her best novel yet
I have enjoyed this much more than three other liane novels. It's compact and the story gripping in the nicest possible way. Her focus has been on fewer characters which she has developed quickly. Enjoyed it a lot now what do I read?!

Wonderful story telling
What made the experience of listening to The Husband's Secret the most enjoyable?
The Husband's Secret is a wonderful balance of humour, tragedy, regret and consequences. The characters are all likable and the reader/listener is keen to find out what will become of their lives.
What other book might you compare The Husband's Secret to and why?
It would be a disservice to this great read to compare it to another novel.
Have you listened to any of Caroline Lee’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not heard Caroline Lee perform before but I am certainly keen to hear her again. Her reading of this novel and her characterisations were faultless. She is superb.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me both laugh and cry. Any novel that can evoke emotion is well written and the characters in The Husband's Secret are all believable. Any of them could be one of my friends and I finished the book wanting only the best for each of them.

Hauntingly beautiful, a story that lingers
If you could sum up The Husband's Secret in three words, what would they be?
What if ?
Who was your favorite character and why?
The book follows 3 women, all of which you come to appreciate for different reasons
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It's moving as it shatters pre-conceived ideas and sets one off on a "what-if" mind spin. Refreshing and emotionally challenging.
Any additional comments?
Elegantly written, worth reading. I'll be reading several more from this author.

Not the author's usual web of stories.
Once something finally happens I thought "finally, here we go", but the book ended. I won't return but wouldn't recommend it.

Liane Moriarty never disappoints
The author weaves a intricate tale that makes the ordinary extraordinary and draws one into the lives of people who could be one’s neighbour, sister or friend. Yet despite the focus being on such people she creates an all absorbing, can’t put it down story leaving one sated yet eager for her next story. Brilliantly narrated.

Brilliant writer.
Liane Moriarty has a serious writing gift. She takes you on a journey from beginning to end. This book is no exception.
The twists and turns are captivating.
Well worth reading.

No sin ever really goes unpunished
Wow. Where to begin. Gripping storyline, thought provoking prose, snarky humour, and disturbingly relatable characters. I recognized a little of myself in each of the characters. The narrator is sublime. I can’t wait to download her other books.

Really good!
This was a really good listen! I couldn't put it down. Not your typical story. I found the humour and observations of human behaviour wonderful. The story speeds along and it kept me I curious about what was going to happen next. The narration was very good and suited the book. Overall a very good listen which I would recommend.

So disappointed
Stopped listening after 1st chapter. It’s just a rambling string of stereotypes and extremely irritating to listen to.
I just didn’t care enough about the main character (actually totally disliked) and was so very disappointed by how the writing comes across.
The Aussie readers voice really grates and made the characters feel contrived, fake and one dimensional. Maybe better if read?
Shame as I am currently reading (not listening) to Nine Perfect Strangers and am really loving that for exactly all the opposite reasons...
Just for context; I am a middle aged English man.. (sorry) so not the target audience ..and I am probably the enemy... but am loving “Strangers”.

Makes you want to listen to the end
It' starts with a series of dis-jointed characters that you wonder how they can be connected but the story knits together beautifully. The end is is materpiece in not prejudging conclusions, can' t recommend highly enough

Very slow moving
Found this book so difficult to get into. It was slow going. Got to chapter 10 and still didn’t really understand the plot or storyline

A realistic greatly told story about Karma!!
Where does The Husband's Secret rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I rank this book as one of my top, best reads!!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Husband's Secret?
The revealing dialogue between Cecillia, Rachel and John Paul at the children's hospital.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The tooth-brushing scene with Cecilia and John Paul.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I felt a deep sense of empathy for the main characters, realising how difficult it was for everyone to live with their own personal guilt. But for Cecilia, I had admiration throughout!
Any additional comments?
It was a well written book and the narration excellent with appropriate voices and tones. I love the connection to the Greek myth of Pandora and how the story encapsulated the unpredictability of life, the realities of facing our consequences. The story accurately reflected the realities of life and particularly, how the past affects our futures and how in many ways, we face the consequences of our actions.
