Synopsis

“Terrifying, black-humored, black-hearted and bristling.” —Gillian Flynn, New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl

Now a major motion picture, The Roses, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman, Warren Adler’s iconic 1980s tale of a crumbling marriage—an era’s defining portrait of a macabre divorce.

Jonathan and Barbara Rose are the perfect couple, living the dream in their beautiful house, filled with their precious antiques, their darling children, and their prized Ferrari in the garage. It’s all any red-blooded American could possibly want. But when Jonathan experiences a sudden heart attack (or so he thinks) Barbara realizes that she wants a new life, without him. There’s just one problem: they both want the house. For husband and wife, it’s not just a residence: it’s a passion, one that will escalate an ugly divorce into a full-blown battlefield, complete with weapons and casualties.

In this viciously black comedy, the Roses will each do whatever they can to destroy their better half—no matter the cost to themselves . . .

“Brutally honest and darkly humorous, revealing the complexities of love.” ― The New York Times

“A darkly twisted, sharply written, rabbit-hole of a story.” ―Karin Slaughter,New York Times and #1 international bestselling author
