The Society Game

Olivia, the Wife

by H. Lanfermeijer

‘The devil walks amongst us. You can’t see, hear or smell him but you can sense his presence and when you do, run...’

Why choose love? Instead choose a credit card attached to a gullible man who will pay for the shoes, lunches, the mansion in the country and the skilled surgeon to scrub at the expiry date of your youth membership card.

Olivia Hopkins chose this life but bore the consequences of a brutal, lonely and loveless marriage to a man who chose money and other women over his wife.

From the outside Olivia was a woman society admired but the truth is often hidden behind the lawyer who can shout the loudest and distort the appearance of the most depraved of life choices. The Society Game is the first novel in the series.

Book Reviews

Olive proves that money can't buy happiness, a lesson she learns the hard way in The Society Game. This novel follows Olive through her twenties, thirties, and forties as she attempts to find her way in the world. Perhaps the saddest aspect of the novel is the abuse she suffers at the hands of her wealthy husband Mark and her inability to have a baby. Overall, a great book.
