Helpful Score: 2

One of the best books I have read in awhile. I will certainly look into reading more of this author's books. She takes the reader through the stages of a president's wife, from her teen years to her 60's. We have a look into her life as one accident defines who she is for many years, and the ups and downs of married life. I forgot as I read it that it appears to be loosely based on the life of Laura Bush. The political aspects of the book are downplayed while the relationships are portrayed from many angles. Awesome writing...hard to put down once started. I do agree with a reviewer before me that although the beginning and middle read very quickly, the end (present time) is a little slower to get through. I highly recommend "American Wife" though!!
