Ergebnis für "The Other Wife" in Lyrik

In the collection of prose and poetry Letter to My Wife & Other Tales, his sequel to the successful The Time of Our Lives: Memories and Fantasies of a Blissful Nonagenarian, 96-year-old Elliot Schubert etches incisive portraits of the family members, friends and colleagues. These are the stories of those who helped shape his extraordinary journey through the 20th and 21st centuries as an athlete, Naval officer, scholar, scientist, writer, husband, and father.

The book chronicles, in poetic form, the life of a woman who, in three distinct and significant life events, feels she is “the other woman” to her husband, to her child, and even to herself, rather than the woman who is “good enough” just as she is. Not until she loses her eyesight does she finally allow herself to stop putting herself aside and be who she always has been—a strong, insightful, creative, resilient, faith driven, funny, and fun-loving woman. A resurrected woman!
