About this product

Product Information

NATIONAL BESTELLER * The New York Times bestselling author of Monogomy brings us a "tasteful, elegant, sensuous" ( The Boston Globe ) novel about marriage and forgiveness. Meri is newly married, pregnant, and standing on the cusp of her life as a wife and mother, recognizing with some terror the gap between reality and expectation. Delia--wife of the two-term liberal senator Tom Naughton--is Meri's new neighbor in the adjacent New England town house. Tom's chronic infidelity has been an open secret in Washington circles, but despite the complexity of their relationship, the bond between them remains strong. Soon Delia and Meri find themselves leading strangely parallel lives, as they both reckon with the contours and mysteries of marriage: one refined and abraded by years of complicated intimacy, the other barely begun. With precision and a rich vitality, Sue Miller--beloved and bestselling author of While I Was Gone --brings us a highly charged, superlative novel.

Reviews
Praise for Sue Miller'sThe Senator's Wife "Pure Miller . . . tasteful, elegant, sensuous . . . insightful, complex . . .The Senator's Wifeis Miller's latest extended contemplation of marriage, and a master class in the refinement of craft." -The Boston Globe "Complex and beautifully drawn . . . with her keen eye and precise prose, Ms. Miller expertly conveys the passage of time and the evolution of emotions, giving readers the sense of lives fully lived." -The Wall Street Journal "Miller plays her hand in a masterly fashion." -The New York Times Book Review "I closedThe Senator's Wifeand instantly wished there was someone around with whom to discuss the Jodi Picoult like ending." -USA Today Lost in the Forest "But more important and distinctive is the power of a style that never announces itself as 'style' and that is consonant with a nonjudgmental poise of presentation. T. S. Eliot once wondered whether Shakespeare really 'thought' anything at all: 'He was occupied with turning human actions into poetry,' Eliot decided. Something similar might be said about Miller's impartiality, her refusal to assign blame or 'explain' why things happen as they happened. Her sense of life one calls it that, inadequately is such that we are content to discover with her the powerful connections among the characters and events she imagines." -The Boston Globe "[K]een psychological insight, her radar for emotional nuance, her visceral understanding of familial dynamics. . . . Ms. Miller's innate sympathy for her characters and her shrewd understanding of the mathematics of family life go a long way." -The New York Times "Miller has always been adept at rendering the complexities of family life, the way even well-intentioned, decent people can't walk across a room without wounding at least one person they love." -The New York Times Book Review "It has been said that every good novelist is also a sociologist. Well, if sociologists can be said to shed light on how people must lead their lives at a given time and place in a society, then that statement certainly applies to Sue Miller, who has been providing just that kind of illumination, book to book, since she began her career more than 25 years ago withThe Good Mother." -The Washington Post Book World "[Miller] succeeds brilliantly. . . . Miller's characters have room to breathe, to be confused and petty and clear-headed and generous, to get swept up by passion, to fall in love and have children and watch as those children grow away from them, to fall in and out of love with their spouses, to stay married or get divorced, to have sex and drink wine and dance. Miller is adept at creating believable characters of all ages, from toddlers to great-grandparents, but her specialty is the middle-aged woman caught between her responsibilities and her desires. . . . Sue Miller has proven herself a master of contemporary life." -Newsday "Over the span of her many novels, Sue Miller has used simple, straightforward prose to plumb the irregular heart that beats deep within the relationships of men and women. Whether these relationships are made up of romantic attachments or the bonds that connect parents and children, Miller knows exactly how to corral their turbulent emotions and complex revelations into a fluid, compelling story of everyday life." -Chicago Sun-Times

The Senator's Wife by Sue Miller
I think the story is poorly organized and lacks cohesiveness- frankly I didn;t bother to finish it. I stopped at page 134
