Wife A Novel

"...Meg Wolitzer has fashioned a light-stepping, streamlined novel from..dolorous, bitter-sounding themes. Maybe that's because she's set them all smoldering: rage might be the signature emotion of the powerless, but in Wolitzer's hands, rage is also very funny....The book represents a real step forward for Wolitzer, and its success lies in its reticence. Joan defiantly leaves us wanting more, whereas Wolitzer's other heroines left us wanting maybe a teensy bit less....[A] near-heartbreaking document of feminist realpolitik."Wolitzer, Meg is the author of 'Wife A Novel', published 2003 under ISBN 9780684869407 and ISBN 0684869403.
