The Last American Housewife: pieces of a marriage - Paperback

by Eleanore Hill (Author)

This story of two decades of a marriage documents a catalog of changes accepted and changes refused, between two people who grew up in the Forties and Fifties. By the Seventies, the world had changed and so had they. And so had the marriage. The uncommon word each-other is the main topic of this book-the relationship of two people in which every action or thought, whether expressed or not, affects the partner. Eachother is precious when it works, treacherous when both feel trapped with the other. The Last American Housewife is the second volume in the Marty Series, following The Family Secret. The third volume will be Period Pieces, the post-marriage years.
