Sarah and Eddie Evans are in a slump in their marriage in the book Vacation by Jane Green, one of the great storytellers in women’s fiction.
From magazine editor to married with two young ones, Sarah has become dissatisfied with her stay-at-home mom life. Eddie used to be an exciting, dashing suiter but now he is married and the father of two who likes nothing better after work than to slump in front of the TV with a few beers. Sarah is fed up, and when Eddie gets a job transfer from New York to Chicago, she sees an exit point from the marriage.
Sarah sees this as a trial separation, a step toward divorce, while Eddie thinks of the split as a vacation. Both undergo makeovers in their lives and wonder what the future will bring…or at least what Santa will bring at Christmas.
Jane Green is one of my go-to authors for entertaining women’s fiction. She is one of the best in writing about marriage and the challenges that go with it. I would recommend this to Green’s fans and all readers who enjoy women’s fiction.
