A review by michalow
Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeld

3.0

I found the first third of this novel surprisingly dull. Nevertheless, I persisted, and the story became much more compelling in its post-Bill years. Many of the mundane details from early in the book are evoked in later situations, becoming more relevant and paying off after all. I found it more upsetting than comforting to read this alternative history at this particular moment--but Sittenfeld, not surprisingly, pulls it off well.
