I’m delighted to have my first review of Sisterwives. It’s up on Lit Endeavors, a blog and all-round amazing resource written by American reader Jennifer Orozco. As a voracious reader, a writer and mother-of-four, Jennifer is particularly interested in gender, sexism and societal double standards. So I’d hoped that Sisterwives – which is intended to challenge views of women and marriage, and get readers thinking and talking about it – would be a relevant read. But Jennifer goes further, suggesting that the novel’s treatment of spirituality questions the bedrock of any sort of structure.
So I’ll leave you with a question, the same question Jennifer poses at the end of her review, and one lurking in the subtext of Sisterwives: ‘what is the purpose of indoctrination? Whom, ultimately, does it serve?’
