A review by rodhunt
Private Life by Jane Smiley

2.0

It is rare that I seriously consider not finishing a book. At more than one point I wondered why I was continuing - perhaps Smiley perfectly conveyed the stultifying claustrophobia of the marriage she presented . The conclusion gave some satisfaction but it was a little in comparison. This was about a life (lives) wasted - I wondering whether the book was time wasted. I think that is my last Jane Smiley read.
