THE SENATOR'S WIFE by Sue Miller

FIC
MILLER


Nathan and Meri have recently moved into a New England townhouse. They are newly married, beginning new jobs and expecting their first
child. Their neighbor, Delia Naughton, is at the opposite end of the
life spectrum. She has three grown children and an estranged husband, the notorious philanderer, Senator Tom Naughton. When they become
friends Delia asks Meri to watch the house during her frequent trips to
her Paris apartment. Meri takes the opportunity to read a secret stash of letters between Tom and Delia describing their troubled yet
passionate relationship. After Tom suffers a debilitating stroke, Delia
takes care of him, much to the dismay of her angry children. This
powerful book focuses on family, marriage, relationships, and the
experiences of two quite different women.
