A Good finish

I think I've been a fan of Sue Miller in the past...I just can't remember what she's written. I read her newest novel, The Senator's Wife a couple of weeks ago. It was a good story about marriage, female friendships, new motherhood and life. I enjoyed it but found the story a bit slow going at times. The female friends in the story are at opposite ends of life. One is newly married and expecting her first child. The other is in her eighties and caring for a husband who recently suffered a stroke. In some ways the things they are dealing with are similar. In other ways the women are so different and from such different times that they don't really understand each other.

I liked the bo k. I liked the resolution. There were middle parts that I didn't like as well.
