Interpretation As Books Whispers
It can happen in the best of families--even the Fergusons. When Lynn and Robert first meet, she's bright, fresh-faced twenty-year old; he's handsome, a bit older, a charming young executive on the fast track. From the start they fall deeply in love, thrilled by the discovery of their mutual desire. But as early as their honeymoon the gold begins to tarnish, when Robert's anger erupts into a physical assault, one for which Lynn blames herself. To all appearances Lynn and Robert are living the ultimate American dream-a lovely home in an exclusive Connecticut suburb, a picture-perfect marriage, two beautiful children, a country club membership, and wonderful friends. But not even with their closest friends can Lynn reveal what is truly happening to her family. Their secret life is betrayed only is whispers of what goes on behind closed doors.

There's none so blind as those who would not see. People like Lynn irritate the life out of me. Even I want to say "Stupid b*tch!" Robert is a sociopath. And Lynn is a self-imposed, blind ingenue. The children are more mature than either of the parents. And what they are doing to them is actually child abuse. Of course, it will all end badly. How could it not? Just waiting to see exactly. Until then, take lessons people. Weak Weak Weak!! Lies Lies Lies!! The biggest lies are the ones we tellI have read this book twice, once a very very long time ago, and then just recently last year.....It is such a good story line, and makes you wonder how often this happens and if you know anyone that this is happening to right now.....It goes to show you that even with the best that money can buy, it can't buy happiness and peace of mind......I felt so bad for the girls and of course the wife. I am right now reading another book called Behind Closed Doors, that kind of reminds me of Whispers,
Must be really hard writing about abuse in the home. The dad may be hitting the wife, but the whole family suffers.It was quite a good story. A bit dated but interesting to read.
The story of a woman who had everything. A nice home, beautiful children-good friends and a hard working husband. But she had one secret that c.lose friends began to suspect......

So, I read this book back when I was in high school, and it haunted me. The idea of domestic violence was so foreign to me, coming from a supportive, loving family that when I read this, however, I definitely felt that I was looking into a social problem that I'd never imagined existed (I guess I was pretty sheltered!) Belva Plain does a wonderful job of portraying a family in crisis and how slow but relentless acts of emotional and physical abuse can reach a point of no return.A really terrific
