Excerpt from the book:
Me and Hubert had only been married a little over four hours when he brought up the subject we'd been discussing quite a bit lately.
"Maggie, I can't wait for us to find a man to get you pregnant. Decide what fake name you want to use. Keep it simple so you won't forget and slip up and give him your real name, or a different fake name. Once we become parents, nobody will ever suspect we ain't normal."
My husband sounded so casual; you would have thought he was talking about the weather.
"I'll call myself Louise."
"Good! That's a perfect name. You look more a Louise than a Maggie anyway."
My Thoughts:
Mrs. Wiggins is so determined that she will have a decent life that she would do anything. She started her marriage and new life with a lie.
The narration was very good, it suited the story, and it was easy to listen to. The story and narration got me hooked from the start, and I enjoyed this audiobook from start to finish. My only remark is that I felt that the narrator could use a different, distinctive voice for Miss Dowler.
Mrs. Wiggins is my first Mary Monroe book. Books I usually read are considerably different, but I must say I enjoyed this anyway. And for me, this story was better in an audiobook format.
