The Wife Swappers

The daring, classic pulp novel of suburban adultery by Bonnie Golightly, famed author of Beat Girl and The Wild One, back in print for the first time in over sixty years.

Bed sheets don't talk...

It's the early 1960s, and suburbia is exploding. But with this new lifestyle comes new attitudes towards sex and marriage. These are people with too much money, and too much time, on their hands...especially the pampered, bored housewives who wander out, past their manicured lawns, come home with someone else's husband. And, if it's the husband of a good friend, well, have a drink and forget about it. That's a nice fantasy, but how can you forget what you feel? How can you forget the consequences if you begin to feel too much?

Bonnie Golightly (1919-1998) was from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where her father was a professor at Middle Tennessee State University. She later moved to New York, where she became a folk singer, socialite, bookseller and a prolific writer perhaps best known for losing a lawsuit that accused Truman Capote of basing "Holly Golightly" in Breakfast at Tiffany's on her. She wrote several pulp novels (including The Wife Swappers, The Beat Girl, and Shades of Evil ) and movie novelizations, as well as some non-fiction books on LSD, the paranormal and sex.
