A review by emilyb_chicago
Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeld

4.0

This alternate history diverged from reality further into the book than I am used to and I am going to spend a significant time cross-checking some things from the first quarter to reality to see if I just missed some. After the main, drastic divergence, there were some interesting smaller changes and parallels - which are my favorite parts of alternate history. They were well done and fascinating. I felt like the voice of Hillary was well envisions, though it was much more familiars form the more political voice of her actual writing. I enjoyed the journey, but felt a bit sad for this imagined Hillary during much of the book - it felt realistic but sad.
