Description
‘You’re awfully opinionated for a girl Hillary’ are words spoken to a young Hillary Clinton in Rodham, Curtis Sittenfeld’s speculative new novel that imagines what might have happened if Hillary Rodham had never married Bill Clinton.
In American Wife, Curtis Sittenfeld painted a picture of an ordinary American girl who found herself married to a President – basing it on the life of Laura Bush. In this new novel, she takes another ordinary American girl, Hillary Rodham (‘You are awfully opinionated for a girl, Hillary’), and explores how her life might have turned out if she had stayed an independent woman.
