From the back cover, "Abortion, local evangelism, marital disenchantment, and the rifts of social class: Brundage takes on the fault lines of our era with a deft hand. The Doctor's Wife is an accomplished, page-turning novel."
It took me two days to finish this novel...and two weeks later, I can't get the characters out of my head. This book will grip your heart and mind, and it will haunt you. Not for the faint of heart.

Fascinating book about so many different controversies: religion, abortion, adultery and it goes on. But handles all of this gracefully and a good book that kept me reading until the end. Would highly recommend.

This book was a very slow read. I don't really care for books that start with the ENDING of a story. Kind of takes the fun out of the story. Not my cup of tea.

The usual evangelical-Christians-portrayed-as-psychotic-crazies storyline.

Interesting story about a stressed young family and the temptations and ambitions that threaten to ruin them. Very suspenseful dark tale.

It was a good read. Before I started it, I didn't think I would like the book, but it captured my attention and I enjoyed it. It didn't end the way I thought it would. A nice, easy read. We read it for our book club and it gave us a basis for some good discussion.

Very interesting book. Little bit of Drama, Romance, Religion, quite a psycological thriller. Does have some adult language.

From the first words I was hooked. I could not put this book down wanting to know how it would all end. Well-crafted novel.
