Synopsis
Ira Levins dark suburban tale remains as compellingand frighteningly relevantas ever. Psychological suspense mixes with elements of science fiction to create an extraordinary thriller tinged with Levins sly, satirical wit.Few novels have enshrined themselves in the collective consciousness to the degree The Stepford Wives has. Levins sardonic critique has been spun off into countless film and television adaptations, from 1975s original Katharine Ross filming to 2004s Nicole Kidman offeringand its influence can be felt in later works from The Handmaids Tale to Get Out. Its title alone has become part of our common lexicon.Joanna Eberhart is a creative, self-possessed wife and mother, newly arrived in seemingly idyllic Stepford, Connecticut. But as she and her family begin settling in, shes jarred by the unaccountable sameness of the local wives: all flawlessly attractive, with perfectly maintained homesand little seeming interest in anything else. As curiosity turns to concern, Joanna finds herself unraveling a web of malice that threatens her very existence. Prepare to be captivated, unnerved, and utterly engrossed by Ira Levins dark and unforgettable modern classic, The Stepford Wives.This edition includes an afterword by Peter Straub.
