Saving Grace

By: Jane Green

Narrated by: Jane Green

What does a marriage really look like behind closed doors? What secrets lie beneath the surface? How far will each spouse go to keep love alive? Saving Grace is a riveting, true-to-life novel about one woman’s journey to save her family—and herself—from New York Times bestselling author Jane Green

Grace and Ted Chapman are widely regarded as the perfect couple. Ted is a successful novelist and Grace, his wife of twenty years, is beautiful, carefree, and a wonderful homemaker. But what no one sees are Ted’s rages, his mood swings, and the precarious house of cards that their lifestyle is built upon. When Ted’s longtime assistant and mainstay leaves, his world begins to crumble, and Grace, with dark secrets in her past, is most vulnerable. She finds herself in need of help but with no one to turn to…until Ted’s new assistant, Beth, comes to the rescue. Young and competent, Beth possesses the calm efficiency to weather the storms that threaten to engulf the Chapman household. Soon, though, it’s clear to Grace that Beth might be too good to be true. This new interloper might be the biggest threat of all—one that could cost Grace her marriage, her reputation, her sanity…and her own life.

“Green spins a dark romance, recalling All About Eve, where intimacy masks betrayal.”
—Kirkus Reviews

Hard to hang on

first half was very slow but after that it was my favorite author again! good ending!

easy to listen to

I got A lot food recisepies of from this book . other wise a good book

Too slow

It takes several hours and several hundred pages to get to the meat of the book. It was way too repetitive-almost like an editor said "include 100 more pages" so she just said the same things in new words.
Sad because I usually love Jane Green novels!

Not the best for Jane Green

I didn't enjoy the narrator, who I know is also the author. I love her books, but both the narration and the story in this one left a lot to be desired. I almost stopped listening but it did pick up in the second half. I can't say I'd recommend this book but I do recommend many of Jane Green's other novels.

Not the best from Green

Very average at best, kept thinking it would be better as it went on and it wasn't. Did finish it, but was sort of happy to move on to something else. Have read most of Green's novels, this is one of the worst.
