I have a tendency to read books about women and their struggles in life. One of my favorite books is My Antonia. Others are Anna Karenina, The Awakening, Brick Lane, She’s Come Undone, The House of Sand and Fog, The Poisonwood Bible, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, and many others. Granted not all of the books were about women’s struggles, but they had women as the main character and the story centered around them.
I am also drawn to books where the women have extramarital affairs. Some of my favorites are repeats from the above so here they are again…Anna Karenina, The Awakening, and Brick Lane.
What is it about these books that draw me to them. You can’t say that they are alike because they aren’t. Why am I drawn to women and their issues? Is it because I am a woman?
If you know of any books that might fit either criteria please let me know because I am in need of some more reading material.
PS - I’m doing research on women and the reason they have affairs so the book suggestions don’t have to be limited to fiction.
