The Wives by Simone Gorrindo

4.0

This was a fascinating memoir written by the liberal wife of a military man. It was deeply personal and I appreciated her POV and honesty. It was interesting to see how her perspective changed over the years. So much of what she went through was my worst nightmare. I cannot imagine the anxiety and also the rage of having to go through all that basically alone. She seemed happy in the end but I wonder how it really felt to compromise so much. And I imagine after the book was published she was given a cold shoulder by military people.
