The Sixth Wife

Alice Berg is a marketing executive in her mid-20s who has just moved to a big, bustling European city. Her future looks bright until one day, she encounters fate at a traffic crossing, and her life changes forever.

Soon, Alice finds herself caught in the grips of an exciting and erotic, yet toxic, love affair with the famous writer Mikhail, who is twice her age. Despite her repeated attempts to end the relationship, she finds it impossible to leave him. Over the next ten years of their turbulent romance, will Alice manage to save herself, or will she drown in the abyss of Mikhail's poisoned love, destined to remain in her perpetual role as 'the other woman'?

Peppered with intimate details, The Sixth Wife is based on true events from the author's own life. Raw, mystical, and elegant, the novel doesn't shy away from addressing thought-provoking societal taboos that reflect women's experiences but are rarely explored in fiction, including abortion, major depression, and the long-term effects of emotional abuse.
