A review by rachelmansmckenny
Split-Level by Sande Boritz Berger

4.0

Split-Level follows the narrator as she discovers who she is inside and outside of her marriage. I was interested in the book immediately, following the details of a 70s housewife with two young daughters as she discovers (and denies) some questionable behavior by her husband. As a reader, the pleasure of the slightly unreliable narrator/narrator in denial lasts a good portion of the book, far into her path to save her marriage and some of the consequences of that.
A very readable novel with some compelling scenes-- and great lines near the ends of chapters-- but at points I just couldn't get into the historical details. There weren't many, so this wasn't a huge distraction. In general, worth a read!
