Thank you #partners @tlcbooktours @uiowapress for my ALC.
Quick take:
This was fascinating. The idea of bigamists is so odd. I don’t understand why a person wouldn’t just either divorce the first (or eighth) spouse or just not get married.
In the 40s and 50s people got married SO young, except of course Eva who was considered an old maid at 35. I really enjoyed the history of women in wartime work and learning about that aspect of Eva’s life. The second half of the book just seemed a bit too all over the place. I know it’s meant to explain Vick’s story and how each of the wives were affected but then maybe it should’ve been named for him instead of Eva as her part basically drops off. Nonetheless, it was informative and intriguing.
The audio was ok. The narrator’s breathy voice lulled me at times but it definitely fit the tone of fifties women.
