Idle Wives by James Oppenheim review
The critic finds Idle Wives a flawed novel that exposes middle class social pretensions through Anne Wall and her peers. Oppenheim’s focus on types over deep characters yields an unsatisfying tale despite some tender moments from Emmy Shane and Mollie. The work critiques marital codes and the push to keep up appearances in American middle-class life.
