I can’t lie. I didn’t think I would like this book. The idea of a fictionalized account of the life of a certain former first lady didn’t hold much appeal. However, a fellow reader, whose recommendations I truly respect, left it on my porch early one morning, so I decided to give it a try. These characters, even the minor ones, are so real. Alice Blackwell is complicated and flawed and endearing. Sittenfeld expertly raises questions about the personal and the political and how we reconcile the two.
poetry from my favorite Canadian. always good. her writing is fresh and honest, approachable and astounding.
