Single Wife

I was very unimpressed with this debut novel.

Grace has the perfect husband - Laz Bookman is handsome, intelligent, a Pulitizer Prize winner for his account of Bosnia, successful and absent. He just left one day, and Grace has been fooling others, and finally herself, that he has been gone over one year (as the novel progresses).

I had no empathy at all for Grace. She doesn't question anything and I found her to be an irritable character.

Grace Brookman's husband Laz has just dissappeared. He left one day and never came home. It wasn't the first time but it is the first time he'd been gone this long.

Grace spends her days pretending not only to herself but to their loved ones that Laz is just busy and making excuses for him being absent.

Eventually her lies and cover ups catch up to her and she can no longer hide Laz's absence. She also finds out about a secret life that Laz has been hiding from her.

So dear reader, does Laz returned to his loving and lonely wife? And if so, do they live happily ever after. Pick up this funny and entertaining book to find out.

My review is that the story line is lacking in character but it is very well written which is why I was able to show more finish it. I know. Not a lot to go on but hey, it's your call. show less

I felt this book was very unexplainable. I found it rather slow and semi-boring. I think there were a lot of loop holes and major details were missing. I probably would not reread this book.

A little boring my for my taste.
