Politics & Bedfellows: A Marital Romp In Two Acts (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Politically liberal Amanda Lee Burnett, long New Valley's sweetheart and occasional gadfly, determines to shake up her ultra conservative town as the Democratic mayoral candidate, much to her ambitious husband Ben's dismay. Meanwhile she realizes that to save her marriage she must move decisively to wrest Ben away from her jealous “friend”, Jenny Boo Luck, with whom he is having a not totally secret affair. The town’s arrogant school superintendent, Warren Nash, part of the town's oligarchy, caught in some real-estate hanky-panky, must resign. Ben, presently the high-school principal popular with teachers and students, longs for the position. Fearing what the town's movers and shakers will demand of him, Amanda is understandably negative about his goal and attempts to dissuade him from it. Eventually, however, to her shock and surprise, she discovers that she does not really know him very well in spite of their years of marriage. Certain issues and personalities further complicate their lives: Jenny Boo's husband's desire to bed Amanda; the arrival of an interesting and tempting former high-school classmate; and a feisty old biology teacher whom Ben and Amanda like but the powers utterly detest.
