Suzanne Leal in conversation with Catherine du Peloux Menagé about The Watchful Wife

The Watchful Wife

Raised by her severe parents in a punitive and authoritarian church, Ellen’s narrow world opens up is Gordon, a fellow teacher. Three years later, two police officers accuse Gordon of a shocking crime and arrest him. Ellen steadfastly refuses to believe Gordon has done anything wrong. She will have to fight to protect him in a test of love, courage and faith.
