Reviews
On Apr 28 2010, BayShore Books LLC said:
The characters have so many layers, as you would expect to be required during a long Wisconsin winter. Beginning with a great dislike for all three, soon to understand them each a bit more and finally to feel the compassion that you can only feel for those who have struggled to survive. Reading reviews of a Reliable Wife shows the depth and feeling invoked from the novel, as many negative as positive, and in my mind this is a true sign of great writing
