After nearly 40 years of marriage, Joan and Joe are complements. Where Joe is casual, Joan is elegant. Where he’s vain, she’s self-effacing. And where Joe enjoys his very public role as Great American Novelist, Joan pours her considerable intellect, grace and diplomacy into the private role of Great Man’s Wife. Joe is about to be awarded the Nobel Prize for his acclaimed and prolific body of work. THE WIFE is a story of the couple’s youthful passion and ambition with a lifetime’s shared compromises.
