writing this review several months after reading. this book was not what I thought it was going to be. could be considered early feminist writing. it is the unravelling of a marriage and we see a couple go through 50 years together from a time when wives were more willing to put their husbands and their careers first. The wife sacrifices her own self for her husband and finally has enough. You wish she would have had enough sooner and asserted herself earlier. You also wish at the end that she receives some recognition for work that all along was hers and not her husbands (he is a famous writer but she was the one really doing the writing). She chooses not to though and keeps the secret that he was truly the writer. this is something you don't know until the end. well written.
