The Swing of Things

Told from the dual perspective of a husband and a wife, The Swing of Things is a provocative novel about a suburban couple who want out of their routine — and whether they will take things too far.

Attorney Jayne Larsen loves her stay-at-home husband. Eric is attentive and a great father to their daughter, and unfailingly committed to their Wednesday date nights — but things have gotten too predictable. Then they meet Theo and Mia Winters, the effortlessly cool couple at the center of everyone's attention, who are blissfully happy and ready to share their secret for keeping things spicy.

But there are rules, and breaking them has consequences. As Jayne and Eric explore a more modern definition of marriage, they are forced to confront whether they have given up too much in the pursuit of trying to have it all. Linda Keir is the pen name of the writing team of Linda Joffe Hull and Keir Graff.
