The Zookeeper's Wife

Si Merlyn Claveria Santiago, isang 28 taong gulang na OFW sa Dubai, ay kilala sa kanyang sipag at sakripisyo para sa kanyang pamilya. Sa kabila ng hirap ng trabaho at lumbay ng pangungulila, nanatili siyang tapat sa kanyang kasintahang naiwan sa Pilipinas. Ngunit isang araw, ang kanyang mundo’y gumuho nang malaman niyang nabuntis ng kanyang nobyo ang bunsong kapatid na 18 taong gulang lamang. Labis ang sakit ng pagtataksil, lalo na’t itinago ito sa kanyang mga magulang upang hindi maapektuhan ang perang ipinapadala niya buwan-buwan. Sa hinanakit at kawalang pag-asa, iniwan ni Merlyn ang kanyang pamilya at lumayo. Habang naglalakad, napadpad siya sa isang simbahan kung saan nagaganap ang isang kasalan—isang kasalan na nauwi sa eskandalo nang tuklasin ng lalaking ikakasal na pinagtaksilan siya ng kanyang kasintahan. Sa isang di-inaasahang pagkakataon, nilapitan si Merlyn ng ina ng lalaking iniwan sa altar. Isang alok ang binitiwan: pakasalan ang kanyang anak upang mailigtas ang pamilya nila sa kahihiyan. Dahil sa galit sa mundo at pagnanais na makalimot, tinanggap ni Merlyn ang kasunduan. Ngunit ang kanyang pinasok na kasal ay hindi basta-basta. Ang lalaking kanyang pinakasalan ay si Crisanto "Cris" Montereal, isang bilyonaryo na may makapangyarihang impluwensya at mga negosyo sa iba't ibang panig ng mundo. Sa likod ng kanilang kunwaring pagsasama, unti-unting masusubok ang kanilang damdamin, at mahuhulog sila sa komplikadong laro ng pag-ibig, paghihiganti, at mga lihim na pilit nilang tinatakasan. Makakahanap kaya si Merlyn ng kapayapaan sa piling ng isang lalaking puno ng galit sa pag-ibig? At mapapatawad kaya niya ang mga taong minsang sumira sa kanyang tiwala? O tuluyan siyang magpapatalo sa mga sugat ng kahapon?

Noami grew up in the quiet comfort of the orphanage, raised by nuns and surrounded by children who, like her, were longing for a family they never had.

And just like that, Noami became Mrs. Arvenze. The wife of a doctor she didn’t even know. A substitute in a marriage that was never meant for her.

It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it became an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict.
