Reading

I've been reading this amazing novel!



An well-written American generation novel about a middle-class girl and her upper-class rowdy political husband, eventually reforming into a born-again Christian and ideologically driven president... Do we recognize that? ;-) I don't know how correct with "reality" the portrait of the wife is but as a story it is human, fetching and nuanced. Well told and well written, I can only recommend it!

Later addition: The novel centres around themes of class, race, morals, marriage and compromise. About being human, choices in life and being yourself.
