| In The Senator's Wife,
Meri is a newlywed woman in her 30s who has just moved to a New England
college town where her husband is a professor. She takes a job and soon
finds out she's pregnant. While trying to cope with all the changes in her
life, she strikes up a friendship with a neighbor, Delia. Delia is the
estranged wife of a U.S. senator known for his philandering. She divides
her time between New England and Paris while her husband lives in
Washington. While house-sitting for Delia, Meri does some snooping and
learns a lot more about Delia's married life than she should. It raises
questions about her own marriage. Sue Miller's novel has received positive
reviews with the Rocky Mountain News saying, "The novel is a fast and
fascinating read, a provocative look at the construction of the American
family and the institution of marriage. Miller's characters are haunting,
their actions unforgettable." http://www.reviewsofbooks.com/senators_wife/ |
