Hausfrau by Jill Alexander Essbaum

3.0

By the sad end of Hausfrau, I felt desperate and lonely just like Anna. Anna is an American living in Switzerland. She is married to a banker named Bruno (who she is "more or less" in love with) and has three children. Her parents died in a car crash and, it seems her and Bruno's marriage was a little impulsive.She constantly cheats on Bruno and had a daughter by one of her lovers. A daughter who looks nothing like her her husband. Even though Anna passes her off as his. Anna doesn't make an especially sympathetic character until the end. Her ennui is... Annoying. We get Anna's pov and, her sessions with her therapist. I think Hausfrau was really 3.5 starts for me. I couldn't put it down after it picked up a little. I would recommend for certain audiences only.
