But, for me, the power of its reveal is long past the point of time where it might be visceral and tell us all something about ourselves. I would recommend this book to anyone one a beach, plane, metro, or bus. Runge is a blunter, less sophisticated filmmaker. But its limitations also stem from the filmmakers' tendency to hit certain beats too hard, and too often. The husband is not a very sympathetic character while the wife certainly is.

This was a story about a husband and wife where the husband was a famous author. “Everything will be okay.” And then, as if our lives depend on it, we make sure it is.”, “Everyone knows how women soldier on, how women dream up blueprints, recipes, ideas for a better world, and then sometimes lose them on the way to the crib in the middle of the night, on the way to the Stop & Shop, or the bath.
Joe’s moment of Nobel triumph appears to be triggering a late-life crisis in Joan. (Her malaise is exacerbated by her having to abandon her dissertation on the poet Anne Sexton, another depressive mom.) Glenn Close is a tremendous actress. As the supportive yet secretive spouse of an acclaimed writer dealing with some old anxieties in the days before he accepts the Nobel Prize, the veteran actress is a marvel of twisty understatement here, delivering emotions that conceal as much as they reveal, and offering onion-like layers that invite repeat viewings in light of some of the film’s later revelations. Max Irons plays Joe’s moody son David who also has plans to be writer, desperately needing the old man’s approval and yet prickly and resentful at Joe’s sorrowing criticisms of his work – criticisms which do not convey any great reassurance that his son has chosen the right career.

Some reviewers have said they find the wife's motivations unbelievable. There was an error retrieving your Wish Lists. It kept me gripped from beginning to its highly unexpected ending. The final plot turn can be read as a parable for patriarchal politics and the artist’s prestige: when people read novels, they are not merely responding to a text, they are consuming the artist’s prestige and reputation, which is itself a created performance. It had me hooked from the start with its scathing tone.

This book captures exactly the bind women have been in for most of history; in this case Joan Castleman comes of age in the '50s. The Wife and the Widow is told from the perspective of two women: one whose husband disappears and the other whose husband is hiding a guilty secret. This story is so well written, you feel you are right there experiencing sympathy for Angela and her son after her husband's been sleeping around, and arrested for rape. The film itself – solid, conventional, and potentially quite attractive to older filmgoers – is very lucky to have her. I hope Alafair Burke is working on that next delicious book/biscuit. Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of, Published I’m really reaching to see how it could be about me, because I wanted to love this like the rest of you. Please try again. You keep peeling off those layers and enjoying every little bit and then you get to the end and just want to savor it. This book was good and interesting but to me, not great. In the not-to-be-trusted category is Nathaniel Bone (a fine Christian Slater), a smooth-talking journalist who approaches the Castlemans on the plane to Stockholm, where they're headed to accept Joe's prize. You're listening to a sample of the Audible audio edition. And this is the sentence that seems to be floating on this American author's novel, although her, the author ("The Wolitzer", we could call her), allows that sentence to float, but only to break it, shattering into little pieces against the floor, just for the sake of an opposite corollary. It will keep you up late reading and has some completely unexpected twists that you could never even guess at. Something went wrong. (“The Wife” is also distractingly, flatly bright.)

Writer: Jane Anderson (adapted from Meg Wolitzer's novel) The popularity of Joe's novels has afforded them material comforts. “Listen,” we say. All Day and a Night: A Novel of Suspense (Ellie Hatcher), “The latest novel from lawyer-turned-best-selling novelist Burke is as freshly topical as a #MeToo hashtag, but it unfolds with the slow-burn thrill of pure fiction…. When Joan finally lets it rip, voicing a lifetime's worth of pent-up frustration, Close adds notes of guilt and conflictedness to her angry aria.
