Literary Wives Book Club



Literary Wives is an on-line book group that examines the meaning and role of wife in different books. Every other month, we post and discuss a book with this question in mind: 

What does this book say about wives or about the experience of being a wife? 

Reviews

Kate can’t remember a time in her life that didn’t include books. She started her blog in 2012 as a way of extending her bookish-circle – and extend it, it did! Kate lives in Melbourne, Australia with her husband and four children. When she’s not reading, she can be found swimming laps at her local pool, dreaming of her next beach holiday, or walking by the Yarra River. Kate works as a grief counsellor.

Once upon a time, Naomi worked as a biologist, math tutor, and early childhood educator. Since then, she has been happily reading bedtime stories to three eager listeners, and hopes this will never change. She loves traveling around the Canadian Maritimes with her family, visiting the used book stores and bakeries.

Rebecca of Bookish Beck
Originally from Maryland, Rebecca lives in Newbury, England and works as a freelance proofreader and book reviewer. She also curates a neighborhood Little Free Library and volunteers with community gardening projects and at her local public library.

Kay is a long-time professional technical writer (now retired—yippee!) who also taught composition and technical-writing courses at the college level. She loves reading all kinds of books. She is also a moderator for The Classics Club. She is the secret author of three (sadly unpublished) trashy romance novels and one literary novel.

Marianne of Let's Read
Marianne is 68 years old, has been married for 42 years, has two boys. Christoph, 35, works in Amsterdam as an editor, and Philip, 31, works in Brussels at the European Parliament. The family is German but has lived in the Netherlands for 20 years after 6 years in England. Marianne hasn’t worked since she had her second child, but she used to work as a foreign language secretary and a lawyer’s assistant. She did a lot of volunteer work before she fell ill with constant migraines. In 2019, her husband retired and they returned to Germany. They now live near her family. She loves reading, crafts, photography and languages
