review 1: Cute, easy read. Interesting twists in the story. Perhaps a comment on how women allow men to shirk responsibilities by doing such a good job taking care of the children,and that revisiting this standard might produce highly advantage changes for all. Or perhaps not. The mistress and her single friend are so needy and desperate that it almost seems like the book is attempting comedy. Or perhaps not. It's just a story, not great literature.
review 2: I'm saying what I said on Amazon. A highly enjoyable book. A required read for both men and women. There are penetrating social and person observations that made me laugh out loud with the rightness and the wickedness of them. This above, all makes the book stand out above its peers. The story begins with a mis... moretress and her best friend contemplating the prying away of a husband, and work colleague, away from his suburban wife and family, and ends with an entirely unexpected but very humane and uncommon solution to the problems that such a task provokes, leaving all the characters, if not absolutely happier, enlightened and moving on. Without giving the plot away, I can say that Leaving Sophie Dean throws into relief how silly we are to respond so much in accordance with social formulas rather than to find the best thing to do in this particular circumstance. The author draws out so well not only how different women try in their own way to cope with the devastation of being deceived or left by the men in their lives (lovers, husbands or fathers) by sticking to the standard social expectations but also how the popular literature on the subject, by doing precisely the same thing, fails to fully comprehend that situation. Leaving Sophie Dean gives us a great more than the standard fare. It is a handbook for handling the situation, as well as inspiring us to be ourselves both in and out of marriage. less
