The Wife, the Maid, and the Mistress by Ariel Lawhon
5.0
An enthralling story
Somehow, I forgot or overlooked the “Missingest Man in NY” from history class and pop culture. It’s a fascinating story. This book is about so much more than that basic, interesting, historical event. It’s about the women who are often overlooked when we tell tales from the past. While it is a fictional take on real events, I found myself hoping that the real folks involved were this interesting. I truly cared about these characters. It was like going to a party with juicy gossip, interesting friends, wonderful clothes, and a few celebrity sightings. Well done!
