great book for weekend reading,
By Saralee Terry Woods "bookmanbookwoman.com" (nashville, tn United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: An Inconvenient Wife (Hardcover)
Nashville City Paper BookClub Column - May 27, 2004An Inconvenient Wife by Megan Chance (Warner Books) is ideal for devotees of historical fiction. Lucy Carleton wants to be an asset to her husband in society but instead becomes dependent on something only Dr. Victor Seth can cure - a plot perfect for fans of both Edith Wharton and Nora Roberts. Saralee Terry Woods is President of BookMan/BookWoman Books in Nashville, and Larry D. Woods is an attorney

Fascinating Psychological -Historical Tale,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Inconvenient Wife (Hardcover)
This book is what I imagine would have happened to Rose (Titanic) if she had married Cal (the "bad guy")and gone on to suffer the marriage/life restrictions of her era and class. It is very well-written in first-person and occurs in Victorian New York. Lucy suffers from "hysteria," a common diagnosis of female neuroses in that time, and her socially-conscious husband takes her to the new doctor in town, Dr. Victor Seth. Dr. Seth's treatments and ensuing relationship with Lucy create interesting emotional dilemmas for Lucy, her husband and Dr. Seth. The story and plot were original, absorbing and shocking: womens' health issues were not treated back then as they are today! I highly recommend this book if you seek a change from the "cookie-cutter" variety of historical fiction or romance novels.
