truth and consequences by Alison Lurie

In this book a woman has been a caretaker for her professor husband after a back injury, during that time they have fallen out of love. Another couple moves to town, the woman a writer works at the university and everyone including the injured husband falls for her. Of course they begin an affair. Meanwhile the caretaker wife falls in love with the writer's "husband".

I felt sorry for the wife who had been taking care of the husband. Her husband was downright mean and rude to her. I hate to give away the ending, but lets just say the wife does get her happy ending, after enduring even more pain.

I felt the husband really got what was coming to him as well.

It was an enjoyable book. I would say it was okay, not great and not bad. I just didn't really think the characters were very sympathetic.

My Grade: C
