I am writing a review for Simon and Schuster. Vladimir is the debut novel of Julia May Jonas. The narrator, of the book and her husband John, are both popular English professors, at a small liberal arts college. Oddly enough we are never told the name of the narrator. I am thinking perhaps because we are not aware of what she may be capable of planning. John has been accused of having relationships in the past with many students, seven have come forward. His wife who has had relationships, in the past, but not with students, is now obsessed with Vladimir, a younger than her, new professor at the college. For me the first two thirds of the book is really going no where with no plot. There is a lot of fantasizing by the narrator. But then there is a bit more action with a development in the narrator’s personality. I personally did not care for the book. I am sure some people will enjoy it. Is this a book that book clubs will enjoy? I do not think there would be a lot to discuss.
