As a pilot's wife, Kathryn has learned to expect both intense exhilaration and long periods alone, but nothing has prepared her for a late-night knock that lets her know her husband has died in a crash. Until now, Kathryn Lyons's life has been peaceful if unextraordinary: a satisfying job teaching high school in the New England mill town of her childhood; a picture-perfect home by the ocean; a precocious, independent-minded fifteen-year-old daughter; and a happy marriage whose occasional dull passages she attributes to the unavoidable deadening of time. As Kathryn struggles with her grief, she descends into a maelstrom of publicity stirred up by the modern hunger for the details of tragedy. Even before the plane is located in waters off the Irish coast, the relentless scrutiny of her husband's life begins to bring a bizarre personal mystery into focus. Could there be any truth to the increasingly disturbing rumors that he had a secret life? ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | 0316303054 | | Book 3 Of 4 | Fortune's Rocks | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.88 x 8.38 inches | | Edition | Special Edition | | Isbn 10 | 9780316303057 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0316303057 | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Language | English | | Print Length | 320 pages | | Publication Date | June 9, 2015 | | Publisher | Little, Brown Paperbacks | ## Images ![The Pilot's Wife: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811n0aZDVNL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good story *by on Reviewed in the United States June 4, 2026* Good price for that book. Excellent shape ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A journey into deceptions within a marriage *by on Reviewed in the United States June 19, 2015* A woman meets a man who is almost 15 years older than her. She's 18 and he's 33. Kathryn and Jack. She's swept off her feet and they marry. He was an only child and both parents died when he was 9. Her parents died in a car accident when she was 21 but even before that, it was her grandmother who was the responsible one and who raised her.Ten years pass and there's inexplicable friction between Jack and Kathryn. They had one child at the beginning of their marriage and couldn't have more but Jack seemed okay with it. He's a pilot on international routes and has an odd schedule but even when he's home, he's distant to Kathryn.More years pass and their child, Mattie, is 15. Kathryn considers the marriage normal because, she thinks, doesn't every marriage lose its spark after so many years? Months have gone by without a physical relationship and her husband always seems under pressure, but with superficial explanations.He then prepares to leave for another flight. All seems normal. He had gotten tickets to a sports game to go with his daughter on his return and was reminding Kathryn about errands that had to be tended to in his absence.A few days later, she's awakened in the early morning hours by a man knocking on her door. He doesn't look dangerous and when she opens the door he confirms her name. He's from the Pilot union. There's been a tragic accident. Her husband's plane blew up over Ireland as it was departing the U.K.Over the next few weeks, she slowly finds out the real truth about her husband and what he's been hiding from her. Investigations are held, as the explosion appears to have been a suicide on the part of her husband and nothing seems to make sense anymore.Very interesting and as more of the mysteries are revealed, the book proceeds to open a window into the lives of normal people sucked into situations that make them do abnormal things. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Slow, Slow, Slow *by on Reviewed in the United States July 16, 2013* It's a sad and intriguing story but the author strings along the reader for two thirds of the book before she formally introduces the conflict. The remaining portion goes by quickly so it almost feels like a race to reach "The End."I felt Shreve could have benefited from a better editor who would have encouraged her to cull down her lengthy, overly descriptive paragraphs detailing the minutia of a room, a person's clothing, the scenery, etc. I eventually started skipping those paragraphs in my pursuit for the next set of quotation marks -- my internal signal that I'm ready to wrap up this story.I read the Kindle version via the Kindle app on my iPad and found the formatting was a bit off. In most cases it was the lack of a carriage return (or whatever you want to call it on a computer keyboard) to break up the exchange of dialogue between characters. Sometimes I had to re-read some of those passages to ultimately decipher who said what. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/24496075-the-pilots-wife-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/24496075-the-pilots-wife-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-07-17*
