Mrs. Kimble

Author: Jennifer Haigh
Stars: 4.5
Review by: Car-Lay

I really enjoyed the character development in this novel.  It Is the story of three women who marry the same duplicitous man, Ken Kimble.  Ken, a "serial husband", is revealed through the eyes of each woman he seduces.  The women are of different generations and have different expectations of men and marriage.  The women are not victims and Ken is just an ordinary man who happens to satisfy the needs of these women when they meet.  We see through the relationships in Mrs. Kimble, the changes in our perception of marriage, divorce and family dynamics from the 1960's to the 90's.
