Rodham

Thank you Netgalley and Random House for the ARC

Rodham is informative, engaging, and left me feeling wistful for what might have been. Sittenfeld deftly weaved history with fiction and gave an interesting perspective of the issues assertive and intelligent women vying for respect in the public eye face.

I've always enjoyed Sittenfeld's writing and this book was no exception. Admittedly I was a little caught off guard by Bill and Hillary's sex scenes early on in book. I just never thought I would read a vivid description of Bill and Hillary doing it. I didn't find the sex scenes gratuitous, but instead necessary to capture the halcyon days of an early deep relationship. Overall I highly recommend this book. It isn't perfect but ripe for discussion.
