The Senator's Wife Audiobook

" I'm ranking this one three out of five just for the ending, which really did impress me. It was unpredictable. Shameless. I can say it was a good read, overall, really, but some characters annoyed me, some didn't impress that much. But I loved Delia. She seemed like an ideal for me, to some extent. She and the senator are unquestionably bright characters who carry their love, although not in the traditional sense, throughout their lives. And the end. Yes. It was unpredictable. It made me open my eyes wide and frown. It made the whole book worth reading. "

" I enjoyed this novel but I didn't love it. I had a hard time relating to the two main characters because they both seemed to act in very inconsistent ways. I enjoyed the story of the political wife and how she came to a resolution regarding her marriage, but I wish it was a bit more believable. "

" This was a heavy, emotional story and I was so frustrated with Delia and her acceptance of her husband and his ways all the way to the end of his life, incredible. I did like the setting of the story with the younger couple moving into the duplex style house anticipating meeting the Senator and Delia on the other side. As the story unfolds we learn so much about Delia's life while Meri is learning about it via her letters. I really liked how it was written, just a bit heavy for me and no tolerance for the Senator. "

" I thought this book might be interesting but it was more of the same old story. Betrayed wife deals with powerful politician and stays married because she loves him deeply. He betrays her with his infidelity. She eventually finds her voice and moves on but she was long suffering for too long in my opinion. "

" In her latest novel, Sue Miller contemplates wifehood from the perspective of two women "

" A slow-paced book that was perfect for reading before going to sleep. I'm not a huge fan of the ending, and felt quite unsatisfied for a number of reasons, none of which I can share without giving away spoilers. This book was okay but I likely won't recommend it to anyone. I will say, however, that I enjoyed the older female protagonist. There are so few commendable older women in fiction, I think. "

" Maybe I'm not sophisticated enough but I do not understand Sue Miller. "

" I really liked this book at the start, a little less so by the end, because I soured on some the characters. I do think I'll try out some of Miller's other books, though. "

" I liked this book and to some extent I could identify with the character of Meri... but there came a point where she went off in a direction I didn't quite understand. The very end of the book confused me, because I don't understand how she arrived at that conclusion - but maybe I missed something. "

" This was such a great read I couldn't put it down. I liked the simultaneous development of two marriages and the women's point of view in each case. "

" I really liked this but it's a little strange, more reason to like it for me. "

" Not sure what to make of the ending-characters not very likeable "

" Great! Another Sue Miller masterpiece! "

" I did not care for this book at all... "

" I like Sue Miller books. Not too heavy, but well-written and interesting characters. This one fit the bill for me and was a quick read. "

" Excellent read, but Sue Miller's work always is. "

" This book was readable, but didn't grab me. "

" While the story line was interesting and the writing well-done, the detailed description of some very trivial elements of the book caused it to drag for me. I didn't feel there was a real hero or favorable character I could root for, either, which kept me from being truly drawn into the story. "

" Interesting look at infidelity and two women - one just starting out and the other towards the end of her life. "

" 3 and 1/2 stars. It was a decent read. "

" I totally loved this book until the last 50 pages. Then it just got too weird, Grapes-of-Wrath-esque for me. But it was still an enjoyable, quick read! "

" I was not looking forward to reading this book. That said, it was a really quick involving read. I enjoyed it. "

" I actually liked this book quite well, but didn't finish it in time to be back at the library and onto it's next library as it was a book club read. Hoping to finish it sometime. "

" Sue Miller is an excellent author, her characters have a lot of depth and you get pulled into their lives. This book is not the predictable story and has a few twists and turns. "

" Entertaining read - good beach book. "

" There were parts of this book that I really enjoyed and a few slow parts. This is more like 2.5 stars, but I rounded up. "

" I did not care for this book at all... "

" Thinking I just don't identify with this authors style of writing. I always finish her books wanting more. "

" I've read other books by Sue Miller but I think this one was her best. I felt like I was a fly on the wall as I watched this woman's life go to pieces. "

" This was a bit hard to get into, however, I am glad I read it through. I found myself bound to Delia (the senators wife) and her life story. "

" I am late in reading this bestseller from last year. The Senator's Wife by Sue Miller is definitely worth reading. I must admit that I did not see that ending coming! I'd recommend it if you liked An American Wife. "

" I did not care for this book at all. If fact I will be very honest...I never did finish reading it. I thought it was so boring that I often fell asleep trying to read this book; then I finally just gave up and put it down forever. "

" The characters were hard to like & I didn't like the ending. Parts were interesting but I wouldn't recommend it. "

" Disappointing. Miller has written others that are sooooo much better than this one. "

" Pretty good writing, but an unsatisfactory ending. "
