Book Reviews of The Ten-Year Nap
Book Review: I liked almost everything about this book
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read all of Meg Wolitzer's books and was looking forward to this one. (I usually wait until novels come out in paperback.)I wasn't disappointed; all the main (female) characters were intriguing for me, and the husbands were portrayed as multi-dimensional humans, which is often rare in books aimed at women. As the mother of a disabled son, I was particularly taken with the characters of Jill and her "not-quite-right" adopted daughter Nadia; the specifics (and surprises) were perfect. The writing throughout is highly detailed and engaging, and I found the interwoven stories fascinating, and ultimately satisfying, in their resolutions. (If I were to change anything it would be the title, which I felt didn't quite fit.)Mary Lee Moser, author, There and Back: A Journal Companion for Special Needs Parents
Summary of The Ten-Year Nap
The New York Times bestselling novel that woke up critics, book clubs, and women everywhere.For a group of four New York friends the past decade has been defined largely by marriage and motherhood, but it wasn?t always that way. Growing up, they had been told that their generation would be different. And for a while this was true. They went to good colleges, and began high-powered careers. But after marriage and babies, for a variety of reasons, they decided to stay home, temporarily, to raise their children. Now, ten years later, they are still at home, unsure how they came to inhabit lives so different from the ones they expected?until a new series of events begins to change the landscape of their lives yet again, in ways they couldn?t have predicted.
Written in Meg Wolitzer?s inimitable, glittering style, The Ten-Year Nap is wickedly observant, knowing, provocative, surprising, and always entertaining, as it explores the lives of its women with candor, wit, and generosity.
