'This addictive novel is the SLIDING DOORS of American politics.
Gripping' STYLIST 'Startlingly good. One of my favourite writers.'
KATE ATKINSON ____________ 'Awfully opinionated for a girl' is what
they call Hillary as she grows up in her Chicago suburb. Smart,
diligent, and a bit plain, that's the general consensus. Then
Hillary goes to college, and her star rises. At Yale Law School,
she continues to be a leader- and catches the eye of driven,
handsome and charismatic Bill. But when he asks her to marry him,
Hillary gives him a firm No. How might things have turned out for
them, for America, for the world itself, if Hillary Rodham had
really turned down Bill Clinton? With her sharp but always
compassionate eye, Sittenfeld explores the loneliness, moral
ambivalence and iron determination that characterise the quest for
high office, as well as the painful compromises demanded of female
ambition in a world ruled by men. _____________________________ 'A
lot of fun. A wonderful sad dream of what might have happened'
GUARDIAN 'It ends up being a love letter to a type: the female
intellectual, who is given none of the licence of her less talented
male peers. At the end, i found myself saying Oh My God' OBSERVER
'An explosive new book' GRAZIA 'Getting inside a living person's
head sounds like a colossally bad idea, but Sittenfeld makes it
convincing here, just as she did with a character based on First
Lady Laura Bush in her 2008 novel, AMERICAN WIFE' BBC CULTURE 'An
ingenious yet plausible glimpse of an alternative reality' THE
SPECTATOR 'Sittenfeld's RODHAM offers the cartharsis of
uncomplicated regret' NEW YORKER 'A nauseating, moving, morally
suggestive, technically brilliant book that made me think more than
any in recent memory' NPR 'Deviously clever . . . Sittenfeld's
Hillary is both a player in the Game of Thrones and a romance novel
heroine. She's a brilliant badass who has found her voice and knows
how to use it. She's whoever she wants to be' O: THE OPRAH MAGAZINE
'Of all the SLIDING DOORS fantasies offered by the last 40 years of
American office, this may be the most mouth-watering. THE BIG ISSUE
'Fascinating. Rich-with-possibilities concept' SAINSBURY'S MAGAZINE
