Helpful Score: 6
In American Wife: A Novel by Curtis Sittenfeld, the heroine is Alice Blackwell, a mother, former librarian, and well-liked First Lady. She is married to Charlie Blackwell, a member of a wealthy, politically connected family. He is a born-again Christian, a teetotaler, and the controversial current president. Sound familiar?
I really enjoyed this book. As a character study, it probably raised more questions than it answered; and there's also a chance that readers will become too obsessed with drawing parallels and wondering where the line between fact and fiction has been drawn.
Even with its flaws, this is a great read and I would definitely recommend it.
