The Ten-Year Nap
by Meg Wolitzer
Very interesting. Stay-home moms of 10-year olds (they were professionals then dropped off at birth of 1st child). Everyone has struggles; interesting changes of perspective from present to women of generations past. But:...spoiler alert, if you have not read it, stop now if you think you'll read it.
Are you kidding me? Everyone takes 10 years off the career path and then most go back to jobs, albeit different jobs, with hardly no problems? Out of all those women, no husbands turn them in for trophy wives, leaving them without any knowledge of how to pay bills; how they keep their houses financially afloat; etc.? Are you kidding? With a 50% divorce rate, at this point in their early 40s, someone if not more than one, should have been dumped, or dumped the hubby. Too clean an ending for my tastes.
