Climbing Mountains, Falling Apart

When Kimberly McCreight climbed Kilimanjaro after her divorce, she didn’t just conquer a mountain—she unlocked a story that would become her most gripping novel yet. “Someone Else’s Husband” follows two women, Gretchen and Frankie, caught in a deadly love triangle that erupts during a perilous nine-day climb. Frankie, an artist and the only woman on the expedition, meets Richard—a married man—only to vanish after their descent, leaving her apartment a crime scene and Richard accused of murder. As Gretchen, Richard’s wife, grapples with the collapse of her world, McCreight explores how society boxes women into roles—and how those roles can shatter when challenged. Drawing from her own transformative climb, McCreight crafts a tale that asks: How well do we know the people we love? And what secrets lie beneath the surface of even the most stable lives?
