SIX WIVES. SIX LIVES. THE WORLD DOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND HENRY.
New Orleans, 1966. Eighteen-year-old Lina Aragon, reluctant Queen of Mardi Gras, dances with the local golden boy, unknowingly stepping onto the path that will rewrite her future from dutiful Catholic missionary to devoted wife.
New York, 1982. Anne, a headstrong ballerina, has a drink with a married real estate tycoon and embarks on the affair of a lifetime.
England, 2024. In a crumbling castle, reality TV producer Hannah Cleves orchestrates twelve women competing for one man's affection. But her illicit romance with Katy Howard, a contestant, resurrects memories of her first love and evangelical youth in Mississippi.
Then there's hard-nosed Jane and end-of-life health aide Parker. Together they peel back the veneer of one 'great man'. From first love to death bed, these six women orbit each other, their lives irrevocably altered by the gravitational pull of Henry... until they finally break free.
