The Charmed Wife by Olga Grushin
5.0

I’m not sure if parents are aware of the power of the stories they read and tell their children as those children are falling asleep. I’m sure most parents just want the kids to fall asleep so that they can get some sleep. But for the narrator of Olga Grushin’s devastating and clever novel, The Charmed Wife, those stories became her whole reality. But, above all, this book asks us, what happens when “happily ever after” doesn’t turn out?
