The Owner & The Wife follows the story of a young woman embarking out on her own for the first time and starting anew—a new job, new friends, new love, and new family. Along the way, Scarlett finds she must navigate a cast of dynamic, deeply human characters and their complex relationships. As Scarlett learns to balance plates and mix drinks while working her way up the ranks, she also uncovers what it means to be Italian, to be loved, and to be a woman who stands on her own. Set in a nostalgic & vibrant 1980s New York, Sarah’s captivating debut novel is an ode to the American dream, the decade of excess, and the kind of amore that only comes once in a lifetime. Between its vivid descriptions of mouthwatering Italian food and an electrifying love triangle, The Owner & The Wife will leave you hungry for more until the very last page.
