sarahek 's review for:
American Wife
by Curtis Sittenfeld
It was slow going for me to get into this one as it is not plot driven. I loved how she explored what it means to be married to someone when you hold divergent viewpoints. How far can a marriage stretch to accommodate difference? What are the bonds that hold two people together? Beyond a look into their marriage, it challenged me to think about what assumptions I make about people in the limelight. Overall, a fascinating read.
My biggest complaint is the way the abortion plotline resolved in a neat way instead of allowing us to see how Alice would handle the fallout. I was so intrigued by the lead-up and was disappointed in its resolution.
