Beskrivning
A new masterpiece of modern queer fiction, Wife & Wife is a sharply observed and deeply moving story of love, discovery, and defiance.It is 1955 in the affluent suburb of Pearl’s Cove, New York. Twenty-five-year-old housewife and mother of two Ruth Wolf is a glamorous platinum blonde who secretly devours lesbian pulp fiction shoplifted from the local drugstore. But nothing about her clandestine reading has prepared her for what will happen when she meets Sylvie Fein, a socialite who pours her energy into making art while her children are at school. Their connection is electric and instantly threatens to upend their dutiful, traditional lives. Dazzled and in love, Ruth and Sylvie struggle to find a way to be together for more than half a century, wrestling with the expectations of their families and neighbors and the undeniable force of their desire for one another. From the stifling kitchens of the 50s to the triumphant coming of gay marriage in 2011, this is a sharpy observed, wryly funny and deeply moving journey through time and the human heart. Wife & Wife transforms a single love affair between two ordinary women into a sweeping narrative of discovery and reinvention, mirroring the profound cultural upheavals that redefined marriage and family in America.

Recensioner i media

"Wife & Wife is incredibly moving, romantic and important. I hope everyone reads it." — Alice Winn, bestselling author of In Memoriam"Wife & Wife is an extraordinary novel. It's propulsive and profound. At once a moving love story, a riveting family story, and above all, the story of one unforgettable woman's commitment to herself, even when it comes at great cost. A must read." — J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author of The Cliffs"I can’t remember the last time a book cracked open a very specific world for me in such a riveting and emotional way. Tender, romantic, heartbreaking, and hopeful, Elizabeth Harris has written a banger of a novel about the astonishing persistence of love. I didn’t want it to end.” — Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney, New York Times bestselling author of Lake Effect"Ruth and Sylvie grow up in an era in which their love felt impossible, so they get what is possible. Elizabeth Harris’s Wife & Wife is a beautiful and important story of two people who live with their self-abnegation, compromises, and find public recognition of what they’ve always known — that love survives. Harris’s book is a chronicle of American women’s hard-won lives.” — Min Jin Lee, author of American Hagwon
