The Good Wife by Stewart O'Nan
4.0
This author was recommended to me and "The Good Wife" was the first book I saw written by Stewart O'Nan. I like his style of writing -- very direct, no extra prose to describe the people and events (very much the opposite of "The Goldfinch" which I just finished).
Patty is the main character. Her husband goes to prison for murder while she is pregnant with their son. This story is about Patty, her husband, their son and being the good wife. O'Nan certainly touched all my emotions with Patty. I became angry at her for being so weak, yet cheered for her as she struggled through life. I ached for her loneliness, and laughed at her attempts to bring normalcy to their lives. In the end, I admired her for her strength, devotion, and endurance.
