I rely alot on reviews for our Book Club choices and going into "The Senator's Wife" I knew that it would probably not be our favorite. However, it did cause quite a lively discussion and many, many laughs. We toasted to Delia and Meri with a glass of champagne and then began to discuss the character's lives and the path their story took them on. It was alot of fun!

Okay. I don't think it was Sue Miller's best book. The ending was controversial.

Although this is not my normal style book, and did not think of it as a favorite, it did create alot of discussion that was interesting to hear.

None of the characters seemed to grow or change as a result of the their actions and interactions, even Meri, who should have. Although Meri accepted and grew somewhat into her role as mother, she never accepted her other roles and responsibilities. Not particularly enlightening or inspriring, especially considering the opportunities Miller had set up for herself.
