A Reliable Wife

I just finished reading A Reliable Wife. Set in 1907 Wisconsin, it's a story of love, redemption, violence, passion, and utter isolation. It's the oldest story in the world, told in a fresh, new way. Even if you don't normally read books like this, it says so much about the human condition, in such startling ways, you won't be able to put it down. It's psychologically suspenseful, you can't wait to get to the end, while at the same time, the writing is so beautiful you don't want it to end. It's erotic without being vulgar or naked in your face. Sony has purchased the screen rights, I can't wait to see who will be in the movie.
