Mary Turner Thomson The Bigamist True Story Of A Husband's Ultimate Betrayal 2020

Synopsis

<p><b>Now airing as the three-part documentary series <i>The Other Mrs Jordan</i> on ITVX.</b></p> <p><b>From whirlwind romance to gaslighting campaign: this is truth far stranger than fiction.</b></p> <p>When Mary met Will Jordan online, she was a single mother who'd given up trying to find Mr Right. And yet here he suddenly was: articulate and attractive, with a fascinating background. Soon they were in love, and when he proposed after a month it seemed recklessly romantic.</p> <p>Caught up in a whirlwind, Mary accepted that Will's work often took him away from home, out of contact. She was his rock, supporting him emotionally when a misunderstanding led to criminal charges, and even selling everything when blackmailers threatened to kidnap their children. Together, they took on the world.</p> <p>And then one day the phone rang, and a woman introduced herself as 'the other Mrs Jordan'...</p> <p>In this raw account of deception on a grand scale, Mary Turner Thomson recounts what happened after she discovered every word he'd said, from the very first moment, was a lie. This is her painful, humiliating truth--but she tells it for one reason: she too was once a strong, independent woman who would have read all this and thought <i>It could never happen to me...</i></p> <p><b>Revised edition: Previously published as <i>The Bigamist: the true story of a husband's ultimate betrayal</i>, this edition of <i>The Bigamist</i> includes editorial revisions.</b></p>
