Double Life Enigma

Kathryn Lyons has been happily married to her pilot husband, Jack for sixteen years. When she is awakened in the middle of the night to be told that Jack's plane crashed off the coast of Ireland, killing all those onboard, she is shocked and overwhelmed by grief. As an investigation into the cause of the fatal crash is pursued, authorities begin to blame the accident on Jack. Kathryn, who knows that her husband was a supremely talented pilot with a flawless record, will not allow his name to be tarnished, and begins to probe  the events that transpired before the flight. Her search leads her to revelations that she did not anticipate and was in no way prepared for. Who was Jack? The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve forces us to wonder how well we really know those who are closest to us, and to search more carefully under the surface of the everyday life that we take for granted.
