A review by cressyda
The Widows of Eastwick by John Updike

4.0

What the first one should have been. There was no chauvanist snark, the ladies were way more balanced as characters, and the story was beautiful. I enjoyed it infinitely more than "Witches". I do only give it 4 stars however, because I had to wrestle my way through some of Updike's overly long sentences that don't seem to go anywhere. There didn't seem to be as many of them as in the first book, but they were still present and still as tedious as ever.
