American Wife Summary

American Wife: The acclaimed word-of-mouth bestseller by Curtis Sittenfeld

***PRE-ORDER, RODHAM, THE RIVETTING NEW NOVEL BY CURTIS SITTENFELD ***

'My favourite book of the year' KATE ATKINSON
'Honest, wonderful and smart as hell' GUARDIAN

All I did is marry him. You are the ones who gave him power.

Quiet, bookish Alice Blackwell never dreamed of being First Lady. Much less to a President whose politics she doesn't believe in. On perhaps the most important day of her husband's presidency, Alice looks back on the strange and unlikely path that led her to the White House, and to a decision - both treacherous and long overdue - that could jeopardise everything.

Taking inspiration from real life, American Wife is a remarkable portrait of a woman caught between her feelings for her husband, her country, and herself.

'My God, it's good... so beautifully written and so clever' OBSERVER

American Wife Reviews

Such an accomplished work of fiction... a thoughtful and compelling examination of the mechanics of family and marriage... Knowing and knowledgeable, yet also inventive and original, American Wife is a thrilling combination of history and surprises * Guardian *
Superbly well-written - one of the most absorbing books of the year * Evening Standard *
Thoroughly enjoyable. The plot is beautifully paced, the writing quick, clear, absorbing... A sweeping saga * The Times *
A powerful, utterly compelling and strangely moving fictional account of a First Lady who bears more than a passing resemblance to Laura Bush * Daily Mirror *
I was utterly absorbed in this story of a political marriage and a wife who has her own reasons. Curtis Sittenfeld has thrown a powerful light on small town America and its misunderstood values
