"Trophy House is at one level a romantic thriller, at another a story about the disintegration of a marriage and the consequences for all concerned - that rare piece of fiction that is at once thrilling, grown-up and completely believable." "It begins with the construction of a totally inappropriate and enormous house - a "trophy house" - which unexpectedly comes to threaten the tranquillity of what appears to be one woman's perfect life and marriage. Dannie Faber has lots of reasons to feel blessed. A children's book illustrator, she shares a loving marriage with Tom, an M.I.T. professor, with whom she divides her time between one of the Boston's finest suburbs and a beloved beach house in Truro, on Cape Cod. And then, for reasons she could not possibly have foreseen, Dannie's life begins to unravel."--BOOK JACKET.
