The Poets' Wives

The stories of three poets wives supporting their husbands through mental illness, imprisonment, exhale and adultery.


Full of pain, love and loyalty.

Story 1 - my favourite of the three - was beautiful and breathtaking. I literally held my breath during parts of my reading. The love present between this husband and wife is enviable. The writing beautiful.

Story 2 - A tad more sporadic with jumbled dates but beautifully written nether the less. A story of love and loyalty against all odds.

Story 3 - much more modern than the other two stories, yet another story of loyalty and love only this time seeming one sided.


I very much enjoyed this book and read it much slower than I normally would so that I would not miss anything. 4 1/2 star rating.  I read this book for free by winning a goodreads firstreads prize draw.
