My Wife's Affair [With Earbuds] (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
The only thing I liked about this book was that it was a quick read...outside of that I found the plot to be easy to detect and the ending rather meh. I feel like the author really didn't capture the voice of a man whose wife cheated on him. I don't think as a woman she could fully grasp what men go through and it seemed kind of stereotypical how he handled all the events that happened. Then to only make him in the end become the bad guy and the wife the victim I felt was actual rubbish. It's readable and that is about it, the kind of book either you really like it or hate it. I am the latter. "My Wife's Affair" wil be enjoyed by everyone, but will have special meaning to those who are in the theatre. It is a tragic love story that is unusual in that it is told from the perspective of the husband.Georgie Connolly is happily married and has three boys. She has forsaken her career in theatre for her family. Her husband, Peter, is a journalist and is being transferred from New Jersey to London. It is here that Georgie finds her way back to the theatre in a one woman show.The show is about the life of British stage actress Dora Jordan. Jordan was famous in the 18th century. She was not only a great actress but was the mistress of the future King of England and the mother to his thirteen illegimate children. Although their lives were two hundred years apart they are faced with the same struggles and tragic consequences.Georgie is swept ujp in the passion for the play and begins to neglect her husband and three boys. Peter, her husband, is very supportive and tries to understand and encourage her. Howeverf, when he passion for her work also involves an affair with play's author, their lives start to unravel.A very unique novel in both style and content that will be enjoyed by all readers. Not only is it a great story but everyone will be amazed at the surprise ending.
What do You think about My Wife's Affair [With Earbuds] (2010)?
I think a lot of Wives with a family can relate to a lot of what Georgie was going through.
