Mrs. Kimble



Mrs. Kimble is about three different women who end up marrying the same man (not at the same time!). While it was a compelling and engaging book, I didn't love it. And wouldn't recommend it. It's a very sad commentary on marriage and divorce and while it's probably pretty realistic, it's not redemptive at all and thus, not worth the read.

For the most part, the women in the novel are portrayed as victims. The infidelity in the book is seen as the good, right, and better choice.

The ending of the book had such potential, but it turns out I don't get it. It ended too abruptly and confusing. And overall, for the topics in the book, it should be been more complex and complicated than it was. 

The writing was just okay. This book gets a 1.5 out of 5. There is really only one character in the book I actually liked and were it not for him, I would have put the book down.
