The police thinks her death was an accident. Until they find her diary.

Maria Farber has a promising future ahead of her. An honor student, she enjoys a decadent lifestyle in France when she falls for the charming Daniel, a handsome Israeli-French mathematician with a passion for the theater. Despite their differences, Maria is swept away by Daniel’s charms, and when his time in France nears its end, she drops everything to be with him. They get married. Start a family.

Then, one night, Maria drives into the opposite lane and hits an eighteen-wheeler. She is pronounced dead on the spot, with only her six-year-old son as a witness.

The police are quick to mark Maria’s death as an unfortunate accident. But when her blood-soaked diary is delivered to her brother Felix in Moscow, it unearths a brutal portrait of Maria’s seemingly perfect life. And what started as a passionate romance with Daniel turns out to be a resentful and abusive marriage.

Together with Maria’s best friend Tanya, Felix sets out to find out what really happened to his sister. Was Maria simply a depressed woman turning to her last resort? Or was she pushed over the edge by her cold-hearted husband?

The Foreign Wife is a gripping and daring psychological novel about powerful, unrestrained love and self-destructive violence that will have readers question the true meaning of trust, betrayal, and guilt.
