('Nine Wives is an inventive, original, funny, and big-hearted novel, a book I will recommend to anyone interested in good fiction.' -Tim O'Brien, National Book Award-winning author of July, July Henry Mann is a thirty-three year-old bachelor who has spent the last few years watching everyone he knows get married. After the most recent wedding (at which he drunkenly proposes to no less than three women, including the rabbi), Henry realizes he's not act-ually having as much fun as he had convinced himself he was. Nine Wives proceeds in ten chapters, each headed by a woman's name. Can he put his foibles and follies behind him, find a mature relationship, and settle down? Henry wants nothing more, but there are nine good reasons why his plan isn't as simple as it sounds.
