Carmella Chiraru is the author of Lives of the Wives, a new book that you can find wherever you get your books. There's only one literary partnership in lives of the wives that doesn't end in total disaster for the woman. Joan Didion and her husband were successful together. But generally it can be tough. It can be really hard.
Some books have titles that jump out right out at you, Carmela Ciuraru’s new group biography Lives of the Wives is definitely one of those books. She tells us about her five wives and the hazards of literary relationships.
