Book Review, The Wife

Here is a book review I originally wrote for a summer reading program for a public library on the novel The Wife by Meg Wolitzer

 A fresh first person fictional narrative reflecting on the life of the protagonist, the wife, Joan, her conflict of where women were at in society in the 1950s, and the belief that she needs to be with a man as her power to succeed.  It is a story of how a wife really makes her husband the powerful man he is.  Humorous, witty descriptions add to ease of reading and sentence flow.  I resonated with the writing aspect that is how the characters are writers.  The ending of the book has depth.
