Tech Wives

The dazzling, daring new novel from Kirstin Chen, internationally bestselling author of Counterfeit

'Deft, unexpected, funny, heartbreaking and utterly of the moment’ Andrew Sean Greer

'Every bit as much a novel about marriage as it is a thrilling peek behind the curtain of the Silicon Valley elite' Rufi Thorpe, author of Margo's Got Money Troubles

All the money. All the luxury. None of the power.

Sam and Cecily meet in college. Fifteen years later, they are married to two of the most powerful men in tech.

Sam’s husband promises he’ll never be like the other self-obsessed, power-hungry pioneers. He wants the best for his workers. He’ll never buy a mega yacht.

Cecily’s husband, Winston, is responsible for the biggest online store the world has ever seen. They both know he’d be nowhere without her ideas, and even if the world conveniently ignores her, the exquisite life they’ve built together makes it all worth it.

But whispers are starting online about the missteps of both men. Terrible rumours of what they are capable of begin to surface – and soon each woman must make the ultimate choice. But how do you leave a man who runs the world?

From the acclaimed author of COUNTERFEIT comes a daring novel that uncovers the ugly side of the beautiful life.
