Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:
For Joanna, her husband, Walter, and their children, the move to beautiful Stepford seems almost too good to be true. It is. For behind the town's idyllic facade lies a terrible secret — a secret so shattering that no one who encounters it will ever be the same. At once a masterpiece of psychological suspense and a savage commentary on a media-driven society that values the pursuit of youth and beauty at all costs, The Stepford Wives is a novel so frightening in its final implications that the title itself has earned a place in the American lexicon. Review:"I'd never read The Stepford Wives before, as I suspect most younger readers haven't, and let me tell you: I cannot get over how good this book is. Ira Levin's 1972 masterpiece, just reissued in a tidy (and, at $12, inexpensive) 123-page paperback, is an absolute miracle of pacing, plotting, and suspense. It's an efficient German motorcar of a book?masterful, ridiculously well crafted, and, like the ladies of Stepford themselves, flawless."
