New Novel: #Wife22 By Melanie Gideon plus $25 Visa Gift Card #Giveaway

By Heather

It’s been fifteen years since I graduated from high school. Fifteen years. It makes me a little sick to my stomach saying this out loud. Time surely flies. Life has changed…a lot.

So while I’m not yet middle-aged like the subject of Melanie Gideon’s Wife 22, I can relate a lot to the premise. It’s about a mom going through a mid-life crisis of sorts, who begins to revaluate the person she is.

About the Book:
When Alice Buckle, who has been married to William for nearly twenty years, receives a survey in her e-mail from the Netherfield Center for the Study of Marital Happiness, she is in the doldrums. She loves her husband but they’ve grown distant, she is bored with her job, and her adolescent children need her less now. And she has reached the age at which her mother died. So as she idly begins answering the questions, she finds herself baring her soul in an anonymous survey she never even intended to respond to. As she struggles, she realizes it has been years since anyone asked deep, serious questions of her, and really listened to her answers. Soon her entire life as she knows it is called into question.

About the Author:
Melanie Gideon is the author of the memoir The Slippery Year: A Meditation on Happily Ever After, an NPR and San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of 2009, and a New York Times bestseller, as well as three young adult novels.  Her novel, Wife 22 (to be published in 30 countries and translated into 26 languages and currently in development with Working Title Films) is forthcoming from Ballantine in May 2012.  She has written for the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, More, Shape, Marie Claire, the London Times, the Daily Mail and other publications. She was born and raised in Rhode Island and now lives in the Bay Area with her husband and son. Wife 22 is her first novel for adults.

This sure sounds like a great book for poolside summer reading. You can read excerpts right here.

Wife 22 will be available in stores starting May 29th.

GIVEAWAY!
One lucky reader will win a copy of Wife 22 and a $25 Visa Gift Card!
(US – Ends 6/1)
