It\u2019s the story of a broken marriage told from the perspective of Jane whose relationship with John grows out of a powerful physical attraction. Her successful writing career stalls in the face of childcare, homemaking and hauling John out of various scrapes, her financial dependence forcing her to trail after him as he moves from one job to another. After fourteen years of telling herself she should be grateful for her happy family, the security John has somehow delivered and the resurrection of her career, she\u2019s faced with the truth of her marriage\u2019s dysfunction. Manguso unfolds her fragmented narrative in stark, striking prose.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-34969\" src=\"https:\/\/t9z6e6y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wife-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"Cover image for Wife by Charlotte Mendelson\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/t9z6e6y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wife-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/t9z6e6y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wife.jpg 331w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re in similar territory with Charlotte Mendelson\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/alifeinbooks.co.uk\/2024\/08\/wife-by-charlotte-mendelson-marrying-a-monster\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><em>Wife<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. Zoe and Penny have been together for eighteen years during which Penny has bullied and belittled her wife, cajoling her into having the children she\u2019s come to adore, been outraged by her successful career and failed to make the tiniest of compromises. Zoe has soldiered on, locked into the rigid parenting arrangements demanded by her three co-parents, none of whom put their children\u2019s needs first, until an epiphany opens her eyes, and she decides she\u2019s had enough. Mendelson weaves the events of Zoe\u2019s final day in the family home through the story of this supremely dysfunctional relationship.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-34971\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Cover image for The Coast Road by Alan Murrin\" width=\"195\" height=\"300\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/t9z6e6y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Coast-Road-195x300.webp 195w, https:\/\/t9z6e6y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Coast-Road.webp 325w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/t9z6e6y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Coast-Road-195x300.webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-34971\" src=\"https:\/\/t9z6e6y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Coast-Road-195x300.webp\" alt=\"Cover image for The Coast Road by Alan Murrin\" width=\"195\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/t9z6e6y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Coast-Road-195x300.webp 195w, https:\/\/t9z6e6y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-Coast-Road.webp 325w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\"\/>Set in a small Irish town, Alan Murrin\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/alifeinbooks.co.uk\/2024\/05\/the-coast-road-by-alan-murrin-opening-the-door-to-change\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><em>The Coast Road<\/em><\/strong> <\/a>explores the state of three marriages \u2013 one broken and two under strain \u2013 through the women whose independence is thwarted by society\u2019s expectations. We know from the start that Colette\u2019s cottage has burnt down when the police quiz Izzy who spotted smoke in the middle of the night. From there, Murrin winds back the narrative, shifting perspectives between the three wives as he unfolds his story. By the end of the novel, a referendum on divorce is in the offing. Its result won\u2019t be the solution for everyone but will help some. No great literary fireworks here but I enjoyed this absorbing novel which has particularly strong cast of female characters.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-34973\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Cover image for True Love by Paddy Crewe\" width=\"193\" height=\"300\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/t9z6e6y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/True-Love-193x300.jpg 193w, https:\/\/t9z6e6y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/True-Love.jpg 322w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 193px) 100vw, 193px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/t9z6e6y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/True-Love-193x300.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-34973\" src=\"https:\/\/t9z6e6y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/True-Love-193x300.jpg\" alt=\"Cover image for True Love by Paddy Crewe\" width=\"193\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/t9z6e6y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/True-Love-193x300.jpg 193w, https:\/\/t9z6e6y4.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/True-Love.jpg 322w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 193px) 100vw, 193px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>A love story, but far from what you might call a romance, Paddy Crewe\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/alifeinbooks.co.uk\/2024\/07\/true-love-by-paddy-crewe-love-and-healing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><em>True Love<\/em><\/strong><\/a> is about two damaged young people who fall deeply in love, opening themselves to each other in a way they\u2019ve never done with anyone else, each seeing the other as their salvation until the first euphoric months are over and reality sinks in.

Her novels never seem to get the attention they deserve here in the UK. In <a href=\"https:\/\/alifeinbooks.co.uk\/2024\/06\/after-annie-by-anna-quindlen-theres-no-right-or-wrong-way-to-grieve\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><em>After Annie<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, Annie and Bill are an ordinary couple leading busy lives: four children, a plumbing business and working in a care home with not much time for leisure. When Annie collapses after calling out for some Advil while their children sit down to supper, Bill is poleaxed. Thirteen-year-old Ali quietly steps in, doing her best to fill the chasm left by her mother while Annie\u2019s best friend tries hard to keep a grip on her sobriety. With characteristic empathy, Quindlen\u2019s understated, compassionate novel explores the everyday occurrence of death and grief, offering the hope of healing.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s it for May.
