Just finished “The Wife” by Meg Wolitzer. It’s a beautiful, literary journey through one woman’s life as the wife of a famous author. It’s also a feministic tale of navigating a male dominated world, in a historically slow-changing landscape toward gender equality. The writing is delicious and I highly recommend picking this one up if literary fiction is not your usual cup of tea. It may be the one to change your mind.
