Husband and Wife by Leah Stewart

Husband and Wife by Leah Stewart

Sarah Price is thirty-five years old. She doesn't feel as though she's getting older, but there are some noticeable changes: a hangover after two beers, the stray gray hair, and, most of all, she's called Mom by two small children. Always responsible, Sarah traded her MFA for a steady job, which allows her husband, Nathan, to write fiction.

"Stewart's book does what real life doesn't always allow: It gives the woman a voice" -- Raleigh News & Observer "Stewart creates a crisis of faith where adult reality collides with youthful dreams. The writing is tactile, elemental, even comical, providing readers with a situation that could so easily be their own." -- Library Journal (starred review) "Heartbreaking and darkly humorous... [Stewart] is an acute social observer." -- BookPage.com "Leah Stewart's brilliantly written novel Husband and Wife is a deeply human book: funny, tender, smart, self-aware. When you read it you will laugh, you will cry, you will recognize others, you will recognize yourself." -- Elin Hilderbrand, author of The Castaways and Barefoot "Hilarious, heartbreaking, and wise, Husband and Wife is a novel to savor. Stewart's bright heroine is faced with an impossible choice-and I couldn't put the book down until I'd followed her story to the end." -- Amanda Eyre Ward, author of Love Stories in This Town "This narrative voice is so alive and specific that it moves past the idea of 'narrative voice' to become a human woman speaking to you... I cherish this wry, funny, aching, intelligent character and this book!" -- Marisa de los Santos, author of Belong to Me and Love Walked In
