The Favour tells the story of two women, Leah Dawson and McKenna Hawkins, who live in the same affluent neighborhood but have never met. Both are married to successful men who expect perfection from their wives. Despite their similarities, they don't cross paths until they do, and each recognizes in the other a shared experience of living in a personal hell created by their husbands. This gripping debut explores themes of domestic control, secrets, and the lengths to which individuals will go to escape their circumstances.
