Search - Mrs. Kimble

I bought this on a complete whim because the cover and premise called to me. I didn't expect to really like it, but wow, was I in for a surprise. This is a surprisingly insightful book into one man, whom we never really meet; told by his 3 wives. Stuck in the middle of all of it is his son, who your heart just aches for. Definitely worth a read, I'm glad I picked this one up!

great story of 3 different women all married to the same man, who becomes a different man himself w/ each of the 3 women. Each woman's story is riveting and surely you will find some aspect to relate to your own life. An excellent read!

Absolutely wonderful book. Drew me in with the first sentence. A book about different lives revolving around one man. NOT a romance, dark in some places, but an interesting book that is easy to read.

Very good book and a fast read. Interesting to hear the different views of the different Mrs. Kimbles.

An interesting look at the way three different women approached the same husband at different times in their lives and his life. The ending is an interesting twist.

This is the story of three different women who marry the same man.

AWESOME BOOK! Nothing but memorable characters!

Outstanding first novel. A story of Ken Kimble, a handsome man with an unknown past, and Birdie, Joan and Dinah, who each marry ken at successive stages. The wives are complex, three dimentional characters. From a book review "a memorable novel that is bewitching, heartrending and real."

Wonderful story of the 3 woman and the man they married.

Very suspenseful - kept me going till the wee hours of the a.m. Very human, too.

I enjoyed it. A good, quick read.

I did enjoy this book. Kimble was a strange man. I think he was always searching for something such as totally different women and success in business. He loved the limelight and and having a trophy wife on his arm. He was a selfish character-did not care about the children. The bottom line is that there is only one person he really cared about and that was himself.

This book was well written and a great story. Excellent and would totally recommend

I really liked this...read it in one late night/early morning.

I really enjoyed this story of a man who touches (and not usually in a very good way) so many lives. He can turn on the charm initially and draw women in only to leave them empty and wondering what went wrong. I particularly enjoyed the journey each woman took to reflect on the relationship with Ken and see the progression that they didn't realize was happening at the time. It raises questions about the importance of how the other person makes you feel both in the short and long term. Ken really seemed to be quite immature, only really able to connect with much younger women. I was intrigued by the character of Brendan the most, though he was only in the very end of the book. He seemed to embody the way we are shaped by our home environment and the potential we all have to rise out of our circumstances.

I'm glad I finally got around to reading this one. It raises so many questions in my mind about relationships and what draws us to others. This is truly great book, especially given that it is the author's first novel.

Compelling story about a man who weds three very different women, and how his personality impacts their lives and the lives of their children. Story begins in 1969 and ends in the 80's.

I enjoyed this book very much.

I found this a little hard to get into - the characters weren't engaging to me.

I read this in my book club and we all really liked it.

good beach book
