A review by deannareads
Mrs. Kimble by Jennifer Haigh
4.0
This book made me feel a lot of things.
•
Ken Kimble is a handsome, intelligent man who is also an opportunist and a consumer in every way. This is the story about the three women he married over the course of his life and the impact his existence(or lack of) had on them(and their children).
•
I enjoyed the story-telling aspect of this book. I became absorbed in the lives of the characters. I loathed Ken Kimble’s character and I literally hurt for his wives and children as I read. His narcissism and selfishness is nothing short of vile but what makes it even worse is how cleverly disguised it is-these three women were not stupid, they just believed in love and trusted the wrong man. The children he left, they were completely innocent and grew up without a father. This book explores how one person and one choice can have a permanent effect on another person’s life in a multitude of ways.
⠀
Well written and heart wrenching, real and raw, with characters you will want to pull out of the pages and comfort yourself, this is a book that will make you feel something-probably a lot of things.
