You know those books that captivate you and draw you deep into the storyline? Wife 22 by Melanie Gideon seems to be that type of book, and I cannot wait to read it. I have the book in my hands and will be diving into it tonight, as the questions that Alice is asking herself (via the survey she received) sound like questions I sometimes ask myself. I’m not sure if it’s a “mid-life” thing or just something every woman wonders, but I am dying to see what Alice discovers (and kind of compare notes!).
When Alice Buckle, who has been married to William for nearly twenty years, receives a survey in her e-mail from the Netherfield Center for the Study of Marital Happiness, she is in the doldrums. She loves her husband but they’ve grown distant, she is bored with her job, and her adolescent children need her less now. And she has reached the age at which her mother died. So as she idly begins answering the questions, she finds herself baring her soul in an anonymous survey she never even intended to respond to. As she struggles, she realizes it has been years since anyone asked deep, serious questions of her, and really listened to her answers. Soon her entire life as she knows it is called into question.
Doesn’t this book sound good? You can read it soon too – Wife 22 by Melanie Gideon will be in stores May 29th!
