Living the Dream

The further Naomi's husband rises, the more space accumulates in their home - space for doubts, for secrets, and for loftier dreams than she ever considered.

Safe in their love, Tom and Naomi Barnes pursue their dream of family and prosperity in a London brimming with opportunities. Tom works long hours for a super hedge fund while Naomi is bringing up their boys and writing the memoirs of fellow prep school mum and Haitian immigrant Solange Wolf.

Naomi and Solange form a bond as women of colour among Londons elite families, however as Toms power and wealth grow - he buys her a luxury car and diamond necklace - Naomi becomes increasingly convinced that Tom is building a life that is not meant for her.

Everyone she knows back home in Colombia would kill for a marriage like hers. Why is she so insecure and guilt-ridden by their good fortune? Why so uneager to take her place as a rich Englishmans wife? Is she right to worry? Or is there something more sinister going on?

When a shocking secret is revealed to Solange, Naomi sees her own life beginning to unravel forcing her to make one final devastating decision.
