A review by nienabmj
American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld

4.0

I picked up this book because it was on sale at half price books and because I enjoyed the author's debut book. I didn't know until I started it that she created this book as a fictional narrative loosely based on the events and life of Laura Bush. I have no idea why, but I couldn't put this down and was sad when I was done and couldn't hear about the characters anymore. I'm now obsessively researching Laura Bush to see what was true and what was fiction, and believe me, I had never devoted five or more seconds of thought to the woman before I read this book.
