American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld

Curtis Sittenfeld, who burst onto the literary scene with PREP and then went on to create a lot of debate over her negative view of Chick Lit (I believe she said something about chick lit being like the slutty step-sisters to “Literary Fiction”) is coming out with her third novel, AMERICAN WIFE in September.

According to Trashionista, American Wife will be out in September and is narrated by what sounds very much like a fictional version of Laura Bush. Alice Blackwell is married to a man who becomes president of America in 2000 -  even though his opponent receives more popular votes.

I have to say that I absolutely love the cover!
