Summary: Savor This Book
Comment: This book was an engrossing but soothing read with considerable depth. With humor and tenderness the author peels back the layers in the life of the "good wife" married to a somewhat self-absorbed a Member of Parliament. Buchanan has a true understanding of the compromises (and sometimes less than appropriate sacrifices) that are involved in a genuine partnership. I recommend this book highly and enjoyed it even more than Buchanan's previous works, including "Revenge of the Middle Aged Woman."
Rating: 5
Summary: I liked it a lot
Comment: My wife insisted I should read this novel (was she trying to tell me something?) Normally I don't like 'Women's books', I like action novels better, but this English lady author writes very well, and she knows us men through and through. There were times reading her book when my ears went red. She sure knows what she's talking about. So, for once my wife was right, and everybody should read this novel.

Summary: How much sacrifice is too much?
Comment: Fanny Savage has been a self-sacrificing political wife for 19 years. Her husband Will is totally absorbed in himself and his career and he constantly puts Fanny and their daughter Chloe on the back burner. Fanny gives up her career as a partner in her beloved father's wine business and concentrates on furthering Will's career as a Member of Parliament. She also tries to take care of Will's alcoholic sister, Meg, and attempts to patch up her relationship with her mother, who has been absent most of Fanny's life. Finally, Fanny has had enough and she takes a solitary trip to Italy, her father's birthplace, to contemplate her life and to consider whether she wants her marriage to continue. In her novels, Elizabeth Buchan manages to hit on universal themes which most women face and does so with wit, grace, and style. This is not her best book, but it is certainly worthwhile reading.
