Mrs. Nixon: A Novelist Imagines a Life by Ann Beattie

3.0

This was my choice for our book club, and that's probably why I didn't hate it like my fellow book club members lol. It wasn't quite what I was expecting, in that I assumed it would be a fictionalized account of the life of Pat Nixon, but instead focused on what could potentially have been Pat's story in the hands of different writers. A good choice for writers who are interested in the actual nuts and bolts of telling someone's life story.
