Synopsis
Before Sex and the City ...before The Starter Wife ...there was The First Wives Club The sharp-witted and sexy New York Times bestseller! Elise, Brenda, and Annie have one thing in common: they were all first wives. Make that two things in common -- they were the secret to success for each of their spouses, faithfully supporting them as they rose to the top. Okay, three things: they were each abandoned for younger, blonder, sleeker women, "trophy wives" for their exes to sport about town. It may not be on the menu at New York's finer restaurants, but revenge is a dish best served cold -- and while lunching at Le Cirque, the ladies decide the time for self-pity is over: now it's time to get even. How they conspire to give each man his due -- in full view of New York society -- makes The First Wives Club the "deliciously wicked" ( San Francisco Chronicle ) indulgence that, like vintage champagne, goes straight to your head...and captures your heart along the way!
