Disobedience

"Imagine Hamlet sneaking into Gertrude's e-mail account to read her mash notes to Claudius, and you pretty much have the setup of Jane Hamilton's new novel, DISOBEDIENCE. Shakespeare made a mother's sex life the stuff of tragedy, but not every tale of unhappy families has the kick of HAMLET, these days especially. Novelists ought to learn that throwing some adultery and family dysfunction into a story isn't enough to guarantee a good read.Jane Hamilton is the author of 'Disobedience', published 2001 under ISBN 9780786231584 and ISBN 0786231580.
