Commentary To Books Mrs. Kimble

The award-winning debut novel from Jennifer Haigh, author of Baker Towers, The Condition, and Faith, tells the story of Birdie, Joan, and Dinah, three women who marry the same charismatic, predatory, and enigmatic opportunist: Ken Kimble. Resonating with emotional intensity and narrative innovation reminiscent of Ann Patchett’s Bel Canto, Barbara Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible, and Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, Haigh’s Mrs. Kimble is a timeless story of grief, passion, heartache, deception, and the complex riddle of love.

Notice Containing Books Mrs. Kimble

For me, Mrs. Kimble is an example of excellent fiction, sketching out a map, but allowing you to find your own way to a destination. I was captivated by the at first glance simple, but expertly-layered story of three women who all fall for and marry the same man. It seems that many readers were put off by Mr. Kimble himself, and yes, he was a despicable man who used the women in his life to further his own selfish pursuits. However, at least for me, the focus of the story wasn't meant to rest on

I picked this up at a library sale for $0.25 based solely on the cover art and back cover blurb. I didn't have high expectations but I ended up devouring the book in about 2 days, and I would read more by this author.Mrs. Kimble is a novel in 4 parts revolving around Ken Kimble, a lying, cheating minister-turned-real-estate-mogul and his 3 wives. Ken was born in 1929; the book begins and ends with his death in 1995.Alcoholic Birdie (b. 1942, m. 1961, 2 children, divorced 1969) and Newsweek

Written in 2005, Mrs. Kimble is a novel by Jennifer Haigh, who is best known for her novel Faith. Which was excellent. Its probably on my books for life list. Jennifer is a fabulous engrossing writer, and she is on my authors list of entire of body of books to read/complete. I have one per year. This year was Carlos Ruiz Zafon. 2020 is Taylor Jenkins Reid. Jennifer is a talented and engrossing writer. It feels incredibly real and in the moment. Her characters are deeply felt and come deeply

Very much enjoyed the book - the story, the writer and the clever writing. The narrative unfolds beautifully and we are treated to some exquisite, gently developed characterisation and a storyline that gradually builds and layers weaving between the past and present enigma that is Ken Kimble. Haigh works greatly in female characterisation and through her narrative of his three main 'love' affairs she explains the crumbling and disjointed world of a broken, selfish and quite mysterious man.

I really enjoyed this despite it being a style that would ordinarily make me wary - I don't like reading short stories as a rule since as soon as you get into a character you then need to restart the process, and this was a cross between that and a proper novel - you end up in the minds and hearts of three women but ultimately it is not choppy or dissatisfying.The three women share the following in common: an obsession with a sleazebag and below average intelligence/sense of self. The story

One man, three wives. Very interesting read how one man could ruin so many lives. All three of his wives were connected in some way. He never seemed to want to be alone but in the end he died alone. The only three important things in life to him were youth, beauty and secrets.

Hmmm. I have mixed feelings about this book. I couldn't put it down. And I liked the writing style a lot. I liked the ending. I guess I'm always looking for more philosophy or psychology behind things. That said, I think there was a lot of that here, just nothing that I could underline. It makes you think; about the relationships you are in, or who you are in relationships. I think she did an amazing job at portraying the characters too. Remarkable job. She's a very talented writer.
