Omschrijving
Wolitzer has masterfully created an expose of lives lived in partnership and the truth that behind the compromises, dedication and promise inherent in marriage there so often lies a secret...
‘A triumph of tone and observation, The Wife is a blithe, brilliant take on sexual politics’ Lorrie Moore
Hilarious and touching
Meg Wolitzer is so funny and clever she should be bottled and sold as tonic
It’s funny, and it’s brilliant, and I press it on everyone I know
A triumph of tone and observation, The Wife is a blithe, brilliant take on sexual politics
With a great lightness of touch, Wolitzer's novel satirises American literary circles of the Seventies and Eighties and traces the generation of wives who poured their own creative energies into "stoking the fires" of their husbands' reputations
Meg Wolitzer is the author of several acclaimed novels: The Uncoupling (‘tingles with playfulness and wicked observation’ Independent); The Position (‘one of the best and most human books I’ve read all year’ Erica Wagner); The Ten-Year Nap (‘as incisive and pitiless and clear-eyed a chronicler of female-male tandems as Philip Roth or John Updike' Chicago Tribune) and, most recently, The Interestings. She is married with two sons and lives in New York City.
