The Bishop's Wife by Mette Ivie Harrison
1.0
I only got about 20% into this book. I was not enjoying it, I could not relate to the character, and the comments about men and marriage just pushed me over.
Also, we have a woman complaining about unfulfilled ambitions. Her youngest child is a senior in high school and she's sitting on a couch reading during the day. 1) That was my dream, and I never achieved it because 2) I went back to school when my youngest started kindergarten and was working full time by the time she was in 3rd grade. Don't whinge about sacrifice and lack of fulfillment when you have ALL KINDS of opportunities right at hand.
I didn't finish the book, so maybe her husband was an oppressive jerk, an impression not given in the first 20 pages, but . . . wow.
