Ira Levin’s chilling suburban story remains as gripping and disturbingly relevant today as ever. Blending psychological tension with touches of science fiction, this thriller is woven with Levin’s signature dark humor and sharp satire.
Few books have ingrained themselves into popular culture like The Stepford Wives. This scathing critique has inspired numerous adaptations for both film and TV, from the 1975 Katharine Ross original to the 2004 Nicole Kidman version, and its influence is evident in later stories such as The Handmaid’s Tale and Get Out. The title itself has even become a staple in everyday language.
Joanna Eberhart is a talented, confident wife and mother who has recently moved to the peaceful Stepford, Connecticut. As her family settles in, she becomes increasingly unsettled by the eerie uniformity among the local wives, who all seem impossibly beautiful, with perfect homes—and little concern for much else. As Joanna’s curiosity deepens, she uncovers a sinister secret that could threaten her very life.
“If I am wrong, I'm insane—but if I'm right, it's even worse than if I was wrong.”
