About this product
Product Information
"At turns beautiful, devastating and complex, Mrs. Kimble explores the interplay between deception and vulnerability." --Chicago Tribune The award-winning debut novel from Jennifer Haigh, author of Baker Towers, The Condition, and Faith, tells the story of Birdie, Joan, and Dinah, three women who marry the same charismatic, predatory, and enigmatic opportunist: Ken Kimble. Resonating with emotional intensity and narrative innovation reminiscent of Ann Patchett's Bel Canto and Barbara Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible, Haigh's Mrs. Kimble is a timeless story of grief, passion, heartache, deception, and the complex riddle of love.

Reviews
The talent evident in this novel is stunning. The question is not whether Haigh might turn out to be a good writer. Rather, we have the intriguing possibility that the next great American author is already in print., I read Jennifer Haigh's novel straight through. . . caught up in the world of three women who marry the same duplicitous man. . . . The Mrs. Kimbles are hard to put down., Clever...Haigh has certainly succeeded in creating a trio of memorable characters. The three Mrs. Kimbles--a deserted housewife, a frustrated feminist and a disappointed mother--present the whole gamut of family values gone awry., Haigh has created three women undermined by their own vulnerabilities, and their stories raise the ageless questions of why smart women do stupid things; why good women are drawn to bad men. Haigh can only suggest the answers, but she makes you understand why these three women all were eager to become the wives of the mysterious Mr. Kimble., At turns beautiful, devastating and complex, Mrs. Kimble explores the interplay between deception and vulnerability, betraying Haigh's ambitious talent in the process., Vivid and moving...The book's detail-packed, omniscient point of view makes it a guilty pleasure for readers who love to snoop on the woman next door. . . . Mrs. Kimble exists as a work of unique poignancy. Read it to grieve with its characters, to sit with them as they struggle to go on in their troubled worlds, and to cheer them when they somehow find the way., "Clever...Haigh has certainly succeeded in creating a trio of memorable characters.

This is a very good biography of a (beyond remarkable) woman! The book is new and hard covered and fits well in my library.
The price was good. It seemed to take a long time to get here, though.
