Forty-eight-year-old Fanny Savage has a nineteen-year record—earned with patience, devotion, and contentment—as the perfect wife to an ambitious, idealistic politician. Life is a whirlwind of public engagements and unquestioning loyalty to the party, to keeping up appearances, and to her husband. Her job description is to look good and remain silent whatever the cost. But as much as she loves her husband and their teenage daughter, Fanny senses within herself a creeping restlessness. Increasingly she feels the fragility of happiness and the part of her she had buried—as the brilliant partner in her father’s Italian winery—begins to resurface. She has given two decades of her life to being the Good Wife—was it worth it, after all? Could it be time for a trip back to Italy? Could it be time for . . . a change?
